Hi Everyone,

probably my original post/request would have been better placed in the
dev-list, which I now correct :-)

Hello Everyone,

after upgrading my setup to 0.25 a while ago everything was working just
fine, but now I have run into a problem with HD recordings and videos (I
could not record HD before): On playback the videos/recordings plays
smoothly, no cpu usage (<20%), but the picture is scaled much larger
than the screen (> 1920x1080) and no setting in the video sub-menu will
display the content correctly (full,half,v-strech,h-strech, ...).
The system is based on an AMD E350 Mini-ITX board with integrated Radeon
graphics. I am using vaapi for video playback. There exits a ticket that
mentions my issue: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10113
In comment #5 an "ugly fix" is mentioned but not explained or referenced
further. Does anyone know about this "ugly fix" or is there a patch for
mythtv or vaapi available to correct this scaling behaviour?

Greetings,
Jan
