Interesting, thanks for the update.

OK found it. The problem was that the detetection performed did not play well with the not-so-black bars in the recording. However giving a limit value to cropdetect does not always yield the desired result. So I am preparing a patch for video/plugins/mplayer.py that will yield the correct result.

I am in the process of converting my freevo setup to new hardware and a new 16:9 screen (1360x768)

I tried to set it up correctly but apparently I have forgotten something as recorded wide screen broadcasts now have black bars all around. So I turned on debugging and found this in the mplayer log:

CommandLine: '-slave' '-v' '-vo' 'xv,sdl,x11,' '-ao' 'oss:/dev/dsp' '-autosync' '100' '-nolirc' '-nojoystick' '-autoq' '100' *'-screenw' '1360' '-screenh' '768'* '-fs' '-cache' '5000' '*-monitoraspect' '16:9*' '-af' 'volnorm=1' '-vf' 'pp=de*,crop=720:576:0:0*' '//home/freevo/tvrecordings/12-26_1430_Bridge_to_Terabithia.mpeg'

so it is told of the screen size and aspect but then does not crop the video to the correct part.

What should I do to have recorded TV cropped correctly?
