#8269: Aspect ratio changes not detected while watching H.264 SDTV

 Priority:  critical                 |   Milestone:  0.23   
Component:  MythTV - Video Playback  |     Version:  0.23rc1
 Severity:  high                     |     Mlocked:  0

 H.264-encoded SDTV transmitted via IPTV changes its aspect ratio during
 playback like SDTV MPEG2 Streams transmitted via DVB.

 MythTV 0.23-rc1 does not detect these changes. If you start watching a
 channel with a 4:3 program, and the channel changes to a 16:9 broadcast,
 MythTV continues playing with wrong 4:3 aspect - and vice versa of course.

 It also affects playback of early started recordings. If a program or an
 ad block with different aspect precedes the recording target, it keeps the
 same wrong aspect ratio from the start of the recording during the
 complete playback.

 This is due to a bug in FFmpeg described here and can be resolved by a
 minor patch:
