I have a 1080p TV, Series 3, the latest wmcbrine pyTivo distribution and I have a folder with photos that are 2560*1600. On the TV, I am getting photos that appear to look around 720p with a thick black border around all sides. Is there a way to stretch? Or to define the height and/or width I want the photo directory to display pictures?

Basically I want the photos to take up as much of the monitor as possible with little/no borders.

BTW, here is what is showing up in the log file. Doesn't 634*432 seem small and where is that defined?:

It's defined in the TiVo. There's nothing you can do about it, except to use an HME-based picture viewer that can do HD resolutions, instead of the built-in viewer.

The HME picture viewer that comes with TiVo Desktop uses an HMO server as the backend -- normally TiVo Desktop, but you can separate out the HME photo app and use it in conjunction with pyTivo (kind of a pain, though). Your other choice is the picture viewer that comes with my HME for Python, which is self-contained; but it only does a simple slide show. I mean to do a full-featured HME picture viewer one of these days.

I don't know of any others.
