@paffley @ruckage I have a PR in to fix 1 and 2 from the list above.
As for 3, after looking over the code, I suspect this has probably always been a bug with OMX player. The OMX player component doesn't have the same size calculation logic that image and VLC do.Thanks @jdrassa Yes I agree on number 3, I have found numerous issues with omx.
FYI, number 2 is an issue in the stable branch also, just thought id let you know.

@ruckage any chance you could upload the font you are using for the md_name please? its for my personal build. I have the regular OCR font but cannot find the outlined one.

Regarding OMX player you may be right, I normally tend to explicitly set both axis for video size or use <maxsize> so I just haven't noticed it before.

That's because it didn't exist until I made ;)
Regarding sharing I'm not sure as it's an edited version of the original OCR font and as far as I'm aware it's not an open source font. For my own personal use it's obviously fine but I'd prefer to find an open source alternative to OCR if possible. -
That's why I cannot find it then @ruckage :P
No probs mate, I hear ya. I'll edit mine.

@ruckage for bug fix PRs like this, I usually give it a couple days just to make sure no one has any objections, before I will merge it myself.

@jdrassa Thanks for looking into this. Although I think the issue I brought up may be somewhat different to issue that @ruckage was having. The issue I noticed is when the gameslist view is set to "video" and "showSnapshotNoVideo" is set to true, the screenshots appear at the proper size except after you launch a game and return to emulation station the screenshot of the game you just launched is "squashed" for lack of a better word. So not exactly a grid view issue but still a problem. Is there any chance you could take a look into that as well? Or will your PR also address this? Sorry to be a bother, thanks again!

What theme are you seeing this as an issue as I can't reproduce it myself (at least not on windows).

@ruckage Ive been using nostalgia but it also happens on carbon

@quicksilver
Is it on the pi or windows that you're seeing the issue? If it's the pi are you using the OMX player to play videos? (there should be an otion to enable/disable OMX player).SNES mini/Nes mini/Famicom mini theme developer.

@ruckage it's on my pi. I'm not using videos, just using video gameslist view to get the marquees to show up.

@quicksilver
Just tried the Nostalgic theme and I see what you mean. I'm just going to check the theme.xml to if there are any problems. -
@quicksilver Yeah, looks like another bug, the theme.xml itself seems fine.

@ruckage thanks for confirming it. I also noticed that if I use skyscraper to resize any of my scraped images, the last game I played will not resize correctly and stays squashed. I have to run a different game and then regenerate my gameslist.xml again. I'm guessing its probably a related issue.

@jdrassa
This is the problem that @quicksilver is talking about, It looks very similar to what's happening to the first game image in grid view but it could just be a coincidence:Video View
The image displays correctly before launching the game:
But once you return back to ES it gets stretched:
Grid View
This is how the first game image is displayed when first going into a system:
But if you scroll through the games and then go back it's displayed correctly:

Looks like @jdrassa pushed the fixes from earlier. Thanks!

@jdrassa
