Stretched Video

[joako]

I am streaming MPEG1 videos to Sony Bravia EX TV. As far as I know there should be no transcoding taking place, but when the video plays on the TV it is not the same aspect ratio as on a PC. All the settings on the TV don't resolve this issue. How can I stream the video 1:1?

I have this problem too.
Somebody help us???

Honestly it seems the solution is throw away the TV. The networking support is almost not existent in this series.

Solved with this entry in PMS.conf (Windows):

Code: Select all

mencoder_decode = -vf softskip,expand=::::1:16\/9,dsize=4\/3

If your tv is 16/9 which it most likely is, then i'd put follwíng in mencoder codec-specific options:

Code: Select all

(width/height < 1.75 || width/height > 1.79) :: -vf expand=::::1:16/9

This put bars on anything that is outside 16/9..
