I was just wondering if there are any plans to incorporate functionality to automatically select zoom mode based on the displayed content.
I found some posts about this from 2003, but as I cannot find any such feature in mythtv I assume that it wasn't implemented. Has this been discussed since then?
I use dvb in australia on a 4:3 tv, and the display usually has black borders at the top and the bottom of the screen, but sometimes also on the left and right, depending on whether the content is broadcast in widescreen or not. It would be nice to have a feature which automatically selects zoom mode to at least get rid of the left and right black borders.
Am I right in assuming that implementing this feature would involve some image processing to decide whether a black border is present or not? Or is there meta data in the broadcast signal which provides the necessary information?
If there are no such plans to implement this and no one is working on it, I'd be happy to dive in myself. I spend 8 hours a day programming c++ anyway, so why not 10... :-)
