Re: [Freevo-users] how to configure 16:9 screen and crop tv recordings?
OK with some hacking I got the 16:9 detection to work reliably. On my current set of testfiles it works a treat. So I am now sharing the file (to go into video/plugins) for others to play with. So please provide feedback if you find a case where it does not work as expected. Paul On 26-01-10 12:02, John Molohan wrote: Interesting, thanks for the update.
