High values for --win cause black portion of screen

[traumedy]

I am using values for --win off the visible screen (negative and positive) to crop and zoom a portion of a video stream. Values above 4095 for x2 or y2 cause portions of the screen to be black, right to left for x2 and bottom to top for y2. 4095 displays properly, 4096 displays a black screen. Values below -4095 for x1 or y1 work fine.

To test, use the command line:
omxplayer --win "0 0 5760 4320" pathtomedia
.. and you will see it blacks out the right side and bottom of the screen.

@traumedy is this still an issue?

This is a limitation of the hardware (12 bits registers for coordinates of rectangles in the HVS).
Why exactly are you doing this?

I was using this to create a video wall, one Pi per monitor all playing the
same video stream with --live.

@popcornmix if this a hw limitation the issue should be closed as there is nothing to do about it

Okay, you are relying on the clipping behaviour of the destination rectangle to get smaller source rectangle. Interestingly I did make the (software/dispmanx) clipping handle all four edges recently (it used to only protect against negative values which the hardware doesn't like).

Just tried your command with latest (rpi-update) firmware and it worked fine.
Can you run rpi-update and test again?
