I just read the whole thread, and it appears you have the same problem than me : * broadcasters in your country send bogus aspect ratio information, or simply do not bother with 16:9 TVs * you actually have a 16:9 screen * Stefan and other core developers have quality programs with correct AFD, 16:9-aware broadcasters et al. I think the problem is that SoftDevice's crop-mode actually manages to get all the broadcasted picture on the screen, sometimes adding black bars (either top/bottom or left/right). What we want is softdevice to *remove* broadcasted black bars (the kind of dumb black bars that uselessly consume bandwidth). Maybe the solution is to toggle SoftDevice's cropmode behaviour from "reduce image to fit on the screen, adding black bars" to "expand the image, without bothering with lost parts of the image, which happen to be black bars". -- NH _______________________________________________ Softdevice-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/softdevice-devel
