MythVideo stretchs all of my video files so that they are wider than they are supposed to be. I understand that I need to adjust the parameters on the mplayer command in MythVideo setup. I'm currently using the default Knoppmyth parameters. I have an HDTV, with the obvious aspect ratio of 16:9, which fully displays an HD recording, also with the obvious aspect ratio of 16:9. When I play one of my HD recordings (recorded by Myth), MythVideo (mplayer) squashs the video and adds black bars to the top and bottom. |

Ok, I tried using this on my 16:9 TV: Quote: mplayer -fs -zoom -aspect 16:9 -vo xv %s ...which continues to squash my video files. So I tried this... Quote: mplayer -fs -zoom -aspect 4:3 -vo xv %s
....which for some reason makes my 16:9 HDTV videos play perfectly. (I don't understand, at I am running Myth at 1920x1080. Unfortunately, this mode squashes my 4:3 videos. Isn't there a way to get mplayer to adjust automatically? It is really annoying to go into Mythvideo setup and change the command line everytime I want to go from watching a 16:9 video to a 4:3 video. |

Just taking a guess, but based on the mplayer man page, "-aspect" is used to specify the aspect ratio of the video you are playing; "-monitoraspect" is used to specify the aspect ratio of the monitor. Did you try "-monitoraspect 16:9"? The outcome might be very different than using "-aspect". Marc |

Thanks, that fixed it. My new mplayer line is: Code: mplayer -fs -zoom -monitoraspect 16:9 -vo xv %s
