Splash Screen Needed

[PepsiHog]

Hello Everyone,

Ever use a vcr? Or a DVD player? You know how they have a splash screen? No matter what size tv you connect to the splash screen covers the entire screen. I need that. I need a splash screen that will cover the screen of the tv it is being displayed on. (Monitor or TV)

I am using HDMI to connect my computer to a large tv. Basically, I am turning one of my computers into a DVR. I purchased a computer usb remote and I have a learning remote. I am writing a control for my video player. Once I have all the keys defined on the computer remote (which is the same as pressing a key on the keyboard) I will learn those keys to the learn remote on the appropriate keys.

I have been trying to use a dialog colored blue. But the resolution part is a thumper.

Yes, yes. I'm a simple person. I don't need much.

Something like Kodi or Plex not suitable?

JRL-
Well, well, well, look who came up for air! Good to hear from you JRL. This is just what I need. It seems like, or it did at a time, I am or was getting into the habit of thanking you. (and some might call me complicated....ha!)

I take it you have used a vcr or dvd player. You had to. No way you came up with that blue on your own.

firefighter,
I never know what the hell you're talking about! But if I did I know it'd be awesome. Is that something you can do with MS or a can of chicken noodle?

Just playing. Like always, I love your help. Now go put out a fire.
