3) The K!TV.ini file
The K!TV.ini file contains some options not accessible through K!TV interface.
You can edit and modify this file with the MS Windows Notepad.
Attention: Do not modify any line in that file except the one indicated bellow. Otherwise K!TV should become unstable or unworkable.
- "complete path to K!TV\K!TV.ini"
The available options of the K!TV.ini are the following:
- -INVERT_MOUSE_WHEEL=: False by default. True, allows inverting the mouse wheel direction.
- -FIX_X_Y_RATIO_FULLSCREEN=: True by default, the original format is respected in full screen mode, but black borders will appear if the "screen ratio" is not the same. False, there will not be black borders and the picture will fill the whole screen area.
- -FIX_X_Y_RATIO_WINDOW=: True by default, the original format is respected in windowed mode, but black borders will appear if the "screen ratio" is not the same. False, there will not be black borders and the picture will fill the whole window area.
Note: screen ratio refers to the ratio between the screen height and the screen width. The standard TV screen ratio is 1.33:1. That means that the screen is 1.33 times larger than high. It is also known as 4:3 format since mathematically, 4 inches (10,16 cm) horizontally for 3 inches (7.62 cm) vertically.
