program guide (epg) preview window not scaled properly on OS X

[risto78@…]

when displaying the program guide on OS X, the live tv preview window is merely offset but not scaled

the embedded window is shown at the size of the display, so it overlaps the guide and runs past the edge of the screen it looks like the mainwindow viewport is resized instead for some reason

DEBUG OUTPUT: (using -v most)

it's been a month can we please get this at least assigned to someone who looks at Mac OS Tickets? eg nigel or danielk

One month? That's nothing. The embedded TV window has been broken in one way or another since the start of the OS X port (thats late 2004). I don't use that feature. Note that assigning it to someone can often mean it is ignored for longer because other devs think "OK, Nigel is dealing with that one!"
Anyway, in trunk, the embedded window scales OK if Live TV is configured to start in the guide, but the guide is never displayed (probably because the clipping region is the size of the entire window?). After exiting the guide, the small embedded window area remains. If normal LiveTV is started, and the EPG is enabled, the window never scales down, and then the TV image stays in the window (i.e. the menu is never displayed after exiting TV). I will examine fixes when I have time (this is a busy few months for me)
