[Solved] Can't play movies with their native proportions

Post by Primus »

Movies and TV shows with different resolution than 1920x1080 are shown not with black stripes up and below, but extended to 1920x1080 full screen.
My TV is standard HD 1920x1080 Panasonic Viera ST60.

How to fix it?

Or some help about "Change video resolution Width Height"?

Hi Primus,

Please try adding the following line to the file Panasonic-VieraST60.conf:

Code: Select all

KeepAspectRatioTranscoding = true
If that fixes the problem we can add it to the file in the next release

It works!!!

Thanks a lot!

I first checked VT60 and there the line KeepAspectRatioTranscoding = true exists.
But in ST60.conf - missing.

I'll continue testing...
