I noticed that one of the parameters that Freevo passes to mplayer when you launch a movie is "-monitoraspect 4:3". Now that's swell and fine if you do in fact own a normal 4:3 TV set, but if like me you own a widescreen then it's highly desirable to play back the film in its proper format, ie 16:9, due to the reduced letterboxing (or none on 16:9 movies) and the restored aspect ratio of the image. Unfortunately this parameter seems to have been hardcoded in the source and doesn't let itself be overridden - adding the -monitoraspect parameter in your local config file simply makes the statement occur twice, with the last instance overriding the first, and last being the hardcoded one.
One would think that this is in fact a parameter that many people would like to override, so if the deveopers could point me at how I can make the change I'd be much obliged. Hopefully there's a way of doing it outside of modifying the source; I'm using the gentoo ebuild package here and so modifying the source before compiling is not as trivial as it would be if I were using a straight tarball to /usr/src.. Anyway, some feedback would be much appreciated.
