That must be a newer option.  0.23.1 defaulted to Off and I don't recall seeing that setting in that version of MythTV.  Thanks, that worked.

My last inquiry.  On a 16:9 TV it is generally optimal to make Vertical Fill the default on the Player.  But on a 4:3 screen, this results in the sides being clipped off.  Every time I play a video I have to change this setting to Off so that it will show the letterbox instead of clipping the video.  This setting never saves its setting and requires adjustment EVERY time a video is played unless the video is 4:3.  Can the settings for the Video Player be saved?  If it can't, can this default be changed?  What source file handles the Video Player's default settings?  I'll change that one setting in source and recompile.  I only have to fix it on 1 DVR.  All my other DVR's are connected to a 16:9 TV and that setting doesn't cause any real side effects on those TV's.


I think you're looking for Settings > Video > Playback > Page 2/8 > Zoom
