how to find out container to use in codec_spec_script

[OlliL]

Hi,

I have an .mpeg file which is being displayed in a wrong ratio on my Sony Bravia TV.
I routed the call to mencoder through a script and added -aspect 4:3 and this fixes the problem. The thing now is - I want to have pms to add this option automatically for this kind of video when it is played. What I have so far in my PMS.conf:

Code: Select all

codec_spec_script = container == mkv :: -aspect 4:3\ncontainer == avi :: -lavcopts aspect=16/9 -oac copy -mc 0


I now tried adding

Code: Select all

\ncontainer == <whatever> :: -aspect 4:3


For <whatever> I tried mpeg, mpg, mpeg1, mpeg2, mpeg1video, mpeg2video, mp4, mp42 but... nothing works - "-aspect 4:3" is not added to the cmdline when calling mencoder.

ffmpeg tells about this video:

Code: Select all

I now enabled TRACE as debug level... and tried "mov" as container... also without success

Code: Select all

"mov" is working now
