This is my final (let´s hope :-)) post about displaying video on Sony Bravia KDL-40W5500.
Here is the filter:

OverrideFFmpegVideoFilter = scale='if(gt(iw,1760)+gt(ih,990), (iw*0.91)*sar, iw*sar)':'if(gt(iw,1760)+gt(ih,990), (ih*0.91), ih)', pad=max(iw*1.09\\,ih*1.09*(16/9)):ow/(16/9):(ow-iw)/2:(oh ...

Hi squadjot,
I have no problems with the code. But I guess the downscaling must use some CPU.

Are you using KeepAspectRatioTranscoding = true and KeepAspectRatio = true in addition to the filter, or are you testing only with the filter?
It's curious. If I use KeepAspectRatioTranscoding = true and ...

Ups! You are right. I have tested only with low definitions.
Fortunately, after some hard work :-) I have a solution:

OverrideFFmpegVideoFilter = scale=(iw*0.91)*sar:(ih*0.91), pad='if(gt(iw,1760)+gt(ih,990), max(iw\\,ih*(16/9)), max(iw*1.09\\,ih*1.09*(16/9)))':ow/(16/9):(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2

If ...

For those who have a Sony Bravia KDL 40w5500 this is the setting I use in Sony-Bravia5500.conf to pad with ffmpeg:

OverrideFFmpegVideoFilter = scale=iw*sar:ih, pad=max(iw*1.09\\,ih*1.09*(16/9)):ow/(16/9):(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2

This command does the padding (horizontal or vertical bars) and also ...
