Since last update (3.795): cover and text distorted (vertically stretched)

Help and Support
1

I built two volumio radios based on Raspi 4 with 7" HDMI displays about a month ago. Yesterday I updated them to 3.795 and now on both devices the screen is vertically stretched. But: if I check with xrandr the display resolution is correct!

Any ideas what happened?

Some additional background info:
When I installed volumio last month I had to add a few lines to the boot config:

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_force_mode=1
hdmi_cvt=1600 600 60 6 0 0 0

and interestingly when I added them to userconfig.txt it didn’t work (resulting in a much lower resolution); when I tried adding them to config.txt it worked, so I kept that. Now after the update, I re-added them to config (userconfig continued to show no effects). Maybe there are some side effects of that?

Thanks for your help

Hmm, strange: I inserted another SD card with an older version of volumio - and it’s also stretched! So does this mean, that some raspberry hardware config got modified?

It’s a HDMI 7" touch display, connected by HDMI and USB (for touch).

And there are 2 radios, with 2 raspi 3 B+ and twice this display. Exact same hardware, exact same update, exact same behaviour.

Any help is very appreciated :wink:

Any suggestion, as it is at least curious.

Hey @BM24,

What happens when you scale to something like 95% in the plugin settings?

The UI scales correctly, I can “shrink” everything, but it stays stretched.

“Fun fact”: if I rotate the display, it’s not shown as rotated (i.e. it looks the same), but the touch is rotated (e.g. when I rotate by 180° and touch on the menu in the top left corner, volume / speaker settings are opened). I don’t know if this behaviour is also new because there was no need to rotate and I didn’t try earlier.

Wow, I don’t get it: I set hdmi_cvt to 1600 x 600 px, but the display has 1024 x 600. Before the update, it worked nevertheless, after the update the UI was stretched. With this setting corrected, the UI is correct again.
