Used to be able to just run mythfrontend in a window, and everything
would work. But I have just set up my machine to run X over two
monitors, and now, when I start mythfrontend, the menus are still ok (in
the 720x480 window), but when I start playback, there's wide bands of
black at the top and bottom - like I'm viewing a widescreen capture in
my 4:3 window. Of course, the feed is 4:3, and when I play it back in
mplayer it shows up correctly.
Any suggestions on what is wrong, or how to fix it? I even tried having the playback go in full screen mode, but then it tries to cover both monitors, but the picture is only showing up on one - distorted (I'm guessing that's because XV can't display on both monitors at once? Just a guess).
Xinerama (multiple displays) does not provide the information Myth needs about the aspect ratios of the two screens. I honestly don't remember what the solution is, but if you search for "Xinerama" in the list archives I'm sure you'll come up with something.
