Hi all, My media centre failed just before Christmas (great timing!) so the server was pressed into service as a new machine until I can afford to repair the real one.
I have set it up now, and output is via an Nvidia card using their drivers onto a standard CRT TV The output resolution is 720x576 PAL, and I have freevo setup with geometry = 720x576 in freevo.conf which nicely fills the screen, the nvidia card even gets the output correct so I don't need any overscan. However when I play back recorded TV, which should be standard uk widescreen transmissions xine plays with huge black bars top and bottom and the output is visibly squashed vertically rather than filling the screen. Xine is filling the screen as the progress bar appears at the right place when I skip forward and backward, it is just the video that is wrong. From the ps output it looks like it is using the correct command line: /usr/bin/xine --hide-gui -pq -g -B --geometry 720x576 --no-splash --stdctl -V xxmc -A alsa --no-lirc file:///data/TV/TV/12-28_18_15_Secret_Millionaire_Changed_My_Life.ts Has anyone experienced this, is there something I need to do to get it working? I am using the same local_conf.py as before as I was able to restore the config from the old hard disk, so I've never had to do this before. For reference I am using freevo 1.7 Cheers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
