The aspect ratio is ‘just’ a replaceable value in your
recording, which shouldn’t be too difficult to replace

<p>Hi Henk,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been trying to find a way of replacing that value in
the recordings, but haven't been able to find one yet, any
suggestions would be welcome.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am able to watch the recordings in mythfrontend by
setting the Aspect Ratio override, but that's no good when
I'm away from home and watching via Plex, so fixing up the
recordings would be good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reagrds,</p>
<p>Dave.</p>

And what does it (the mediainfo output) look like after you run it
through ffmpeg? Don't use mediainfo myself so can't really comment,
<br>
<br>
I notice you're dealing with MPEG-TS, I always transcode away from
this, don't know if that might be part of the issue.<br>
<br>
What if you transcode the original file to MP4 for example? I always
transcode my recorded TV, if nothing else because it'll be smaller.<br>
<br>
The other option is having your video player redo the aspect ratio
on playback, I actually have loads of old videos in 4:3, but
MythFrontend is configured to always show in 16:9, ignoring the
file's value, also mplayer is set to do the same by using "-aspect
16:9". Is Plex not able to do this?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Gordon<br>
