DisplaySize tag, and the resolution should lead the drive to compute a
non-square DPI and video should display correctly.   Unfortunately, this
isn't happening.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello all,&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I am struggling to get my frontend to play video correctly on my new TV. &nbsp; It is a 1080i RPTV that I have working with a custom 1080x540 modeline. &nbsp; When I playback recording or watch live TV, I get horizontally squished video, as if myth believes there are square pixels.&nbsp;
