The default xine config in 1.5.4 appears to be

--no-splash' % \
(CONF.xine, CONF.width, CONF.height)
XINE_ARGS_DEF = '--no-lirc --post=pp:quality=10;expand'
Combined, these settings cause Freevo to play any widescreen videos -
e.g. several 1024x576 .avi files I have - in 4:3, when you're running it
at 4:3 resolution (e.g. 800x600) and using Xine as the default video
player. The video is stretched to the 4:3 resolution and consequently
looks completely wrong. I think the culprit is the 'expand' option in
the XINE_ARGS_DEF.
I was having this issue as well last night. I knew what the problem was
(btw, how come the 'expand' option is not documented in xine's manual
page?) but was unable to locate the command line. I was searching
in /usr/lib/python-2.4/site-packages/freevo instead of
in /usr/share/freevo
Sorry, I have a 4:3 tv and so I never saw the problem. I guess the
best way to fix this is to use a 16:9 resolution in Freevo,
too. Someone needs to create a nice 16:9 skin to make it all working.
The problem here is that xine will expand it no matter what the res of
the TV is. (I use a laptop monitor and it expands/stretches the video to
fit!!!)
