I just today let boxee update itself to 0.9.12.6566 but then it kept freezing and crashing when playing an x264 mkv, I figured it might be the settings from the old version screwing things up so I deleted the boxee folder and plist file from 'Application Support'.

Now I can't calibrate my TV which I have connected to my iMac. Before I could adjust boxee to compensate for the overscan by moving the corners but in the new build when I enter the calibration screen it says PAL 4:3 at the top and I can't stretch it to fill the screen. This is odd because outside of the calibration screen the boxee menus appear to be correctly 16:9

Also, I don't know why it think's its PAL 4:3 at all. The TV is actually running at 1280x720 60hz

Any ideas? Also is it possible to download the working older versions until it's fixed?

Oh another annoying thing in the new build is that it no longer lets me do anything on the other screen whilst it's running, it keeps trying to grab the focus back. Such an attention seeker lol

i have upgraded to 0.9.13 and im still having the issue of screen calibration being stuck in PAL 4:3.

I am running boxee on my MacBook Pro to my television at 1280x720.

Thanks for the report added this to the bug list..try to calibrate the screen when playing a movie (from the OSD >Settings>Video>Video Calibrate)
