<div dir="ltr">I use dual monitors on my desktop and depending on the situation will have mythfrontend playing on the left or right monitor (left is an LCD widescreen, right is a CRT 4:3). Now typically I was having to go into Setup > Appearance and on page 2 I can change the Xinerama screen to either 0 or 1 and the Monitor Aspect Ratio to 16:9, 16:10 or 4:3. If I wanted to watch stuff on the LCD, I'd go here and choose Xinerama screen 0 and aspect ratio 16:10. If I wanted it playing on the CRT, of course Xinerama screen 1 and ratio 4:3.<br>
<br>Now I'm wondering if it's possible to make a shortcut to do this. I use fluxbox and have shortcuts set up just fine to open mythfrontend on either screen:<br><br>"Mod4 R :ExecCommand mythfrontend -geometry 1920x1200+0+0" (opens on LCD)<br>
and<br>"Mod4 T :ExecCommand mythfrontend -geometry 1600x1200+1920+0" (opens on CRT)<br><br>However, the aspect ratio is left to what I last set it, so if I hit Mod4 R to open it on the LCD but the aspect ratio I last set was 4:3, I still have to go back into Setup > Appearance, rendering the shortcut rather pointless.<br>
<br>Is there a way to set the aspect ratio of Setup > Appearance from command line with mythfrontend or even set some keybinding for it??<br><br>Thanks for any help,<br>Bob<br></div>
