      Greetings,

      VLC shows a thick black border around the videos in Screensaver mode (approx. 5% of the width and height regardless of the video's resolution), OMX Player doesn't do that. The "Stretch Video On Screensaver" option doesn't change anything about that.

      I couldn't find anything about this in the forum. Is this a known issue, and can it be fixed somehow by options or config files?

      Thanks for any light on this
      Clyde

      My system:

      • Pi 4b with 4GB RAM and the official power supply
      • RetroPie 4.6 from the official download site, updated today
      • Video output by HDMI to a 1600x1200 TFT display
