I hope somebody help me again and translate the following. Thanks very much.
Ich habe bisher Screen Aspect im SetupMenü auf 4:3 eingestellt. Daher erfolgte das automatische Umschalten bei einem 16:9 Stream nicht. Mit der Einstellung default funktioniert es. Das bedeutet daß dies kein Fehler ist.
Ich hoffe, Du kannst die Antwort in Englisch verstehen. Wenn nicht, so sollten wir das Off-List weiter diskutieren.
Hups, you say switch works only when screen aspect is set to default, and it doesn't work when screen aspect is set to 4:3. If thats true, that would be a bug. But ...
So lets collect some facts. From your other bug report I know, that you are using latest vdr + softdevice. Which ffmpeg version do you use (version number is printed at startup) ? Which output method do you use ? Do you connect a monitor via VGA out or a TV via TV out ? When you are using VGA, what is the native resolution of your device ? What is the native aspect ratio of your output device ?
And then please provide a similar to the following information of your system, when to your opinion the switch is handled wrong _and_ correct. You'll find this information in the system log.
With Xv out I see the following: That is a switch from 4:3 to 16:9 video stream, screen aspect set to 4:3 May 3 21:11:20 jarada jarada vdr: [10352] [VideoOut]: aspect changed (0 -> 0 ; 1.333333 -> 1.777778) May 3 21:11:20 jarada jarada vdr: [10352] [VideoOut]: 720x576 [0,0 720x576] -> 768x576 [0,57 768x461]
The same switch when screen aspect is set to default: May 3 21:14:33 jarada jarada vdr: [10366] [VideoOut]: aspect changed (0 -> 0 ; 1.333333 -> 1.777778) May 3 21:14:33 jarada jarada vdr: [10366] [VideoOut]: 720x576 [0,0 720x576] -> 768x576 [0,70 768x436]
Still a bit wrong, as my LCD has an aspect ratio of 5:4. Now when set to 5:4: May 3 21:16:36 jarada jarada vdr: [10380] [VideoOut]: aspect changed (0 -> 0 ; 1.333333 -> 1.777778) May 3 21:16:36 jarada jarada vdr: [10380] [VideoOut]: 720x576 [0,0 720x576] -> 768x576 [0,72 768x432]
That is from my test stream which has an AFD value set, which describes it as 4:3 active format, even stream is in 16:9. Usual behaviour would be a vertical downscale, but we cutout 90 pixel left and right from source and display this at full display/window area of 768x576. May 3 21:18:58 jarada jarada vdr: [10405] [VideoOut]: aspect changed (0 -> 9 ; 1.333333 -> 1.777778) May 3 21:18:58 jarada jarada vdr: [10405] [VideoOut]: 720x576 [90,0 540x576] -> 768x576 [0,0 768x576]
Ich möchte für mich die automatische Umschaltung auf 16:9 auch bei ScreenAspect=4:3. Für einen kleinen Tipp wo ich welche Variable setzen wäre ich dankbar.
