Here are mplayer scripts I am currently using with excellent results. I hope to eventually get Myth to work as well. To play a widescreen show on my 4x3 display: mplayer.2 -ao oss:/dev/dsp3 -vo x11 -zoom -xy 1024 -fs "$1" -framedrop To play a digital 4x3 show sent in 16x9 format with black bars: mplayer.2 -ao oss:/dev/dsp3 -vo x11 -zoom -xy 1024 -fs "$1" -framedrop -vf crop=960 Again, maybe this will be useful to someone else. The reason it is mplayer.2 is that I hacked mplayer to always offset to 1280x0 and to use the size of the 2nd display so it shows "fullscreen" on the 2nd display (the TV); I couldn't figure out command line options to do it otherwise for some reason. (normally it shows fullscreen across both displays) To recap for the curious, the problems with just using NO_XV as Myth supports are: 1) it is to slow 2) it scales badly 3) it doesn't allow changing aspects (basically 2 is 3) Mplayer obviously has superior software scaling where no one in Myth currently cares since they all use XV. :-) As I wish I could. :-( _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
