[mythtv-users] Vertical letter boxes on playback (Epia M10000)

Hi all,

I'm having a problem since upgrading to v0.14 with my video playback and 
was wondering if anyone has seen this before or might have an idea what 
the problem is.

There are vertical letter boxes (or just black bars) on the sides of the 
playback and I cannot get rid of them.  The GUI is fine, and xine -V xv 
is fine (I haven't been able to get the cle266 xine plugin to work) but 
TV / recording playback is compressed from the sides (not truncated) so 
I suspect that it has something to do the hardware decoding.

This may not be (probably isn't) the fault of MythTV as I also update my 
xfree installation to xfree-epia-4.3.99.902-r5 yesterday.

I'm using the open source hardware decoding library (libddmpeg) version 1.5.

The playback was working previous to updating XFree and MythTV.

Thanks in advance,
Brent
