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.

Ok progress report. I found the issue originates in the DPI.
Unfortunately tweaking the DPI in xorg.conf makes firefox behave right
but makes the video playback scaled way back.
So I am now looking at how to tell firefox thunderbird to ignore the
X11 dpi and substitute my own...

OK I have given up on this.As soon as you start up a window manager it
changes the DPI of the screen to (a) something that is wrong for firefox
thunderbird and (b) does not set it back so the video playback is
shrunken.
Since one needs a keyboard to enter urls and emails, I opted to run the
apps
