Public bug reported:
Reproducible: every time
Steps: on a widescreen display, open a video in mplayer and note that it is
displayed using the wrong aspect ratio (vertically squished)
Fix: set correct "monitoraspect" in mplayer.conf or ~/mplayer/config
The problem is that mplayer seems to be unable to detect the monitor
aspect ratio automatically. On my intel i915 with a 1280x800 (ratio
1.6) screen videos seem squished in the vertical direction. This can be
fixed by setting "monitoraspect" to 1.6 in either
/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf or ~/mplayer/config
A very annoying, but easily fixed, bug given that mplayer is the only
player capable of playing HD videos on this hardware.
