[mythtv-users] Programme aspect ratio data

Hi all,

The uk_rt listings grabber has aspect ratio information for most of the
programs now:

<programme start="20050124130000 UTC" stop="20050124133000 UTC"
channel="midlands.bbc1.bbc.co.uk">
    <title>BBC News; Weather</title>
    <category lang="en">News and Current Affairs</category>
    <video>
      <aspect>16:9</aspect>
    </video>
    <subtitles type="teletext" />
  </programme>

The <aspect></aspect> mark-up is only present for 16:9 (it seems).  4:3
broadcast programming just skips it completely.

Anyone working on adding (automatic) support for this to mythtv ?  Just
a 'wish list' item, as pressing 'W' on playback isn't exactly hard, but
it would be useful for nuvexport too.

I have tried fiddling with ivtvctl to embed wss/cc/vps into the captured
mpeg stream. However, Myth's X11 playback, and mplayer's nuv playback do
not seem to honour the wss setting.

Cheers,

Mark
