[mythtv-users] Mythnetvision aspect ratio

[Al Bates]

I'm back on the list after a long time away...shows how stable myth has got.

I've got a very nice 0.26 system setup, recording and playing live dvb-t in the UK. I have an nvidia geforce 8400GS, running SD via s-video to a Sony 16:9 CRT TV

My issue is this: Myth generally respects my xorg.conf settings, scaling all video correctly. However fullscreen video watched via mythnetvision (BBC iplayer etc) is distorted, displaying too short with oversize letterboxing.

Nvidia tv-out is limited i think to 640x480 or 800x600, so only 4:3 resolutions seem to work.

My relevant xorg details:

DisplaySize 740 420

Option         "metamodes" "TV-0: 1024x768 { ViewPortIn=1024x768, ViewPortOut=652x412+48+33 }"
# above option provides overscan correction for Sony TV

Is there any way to force mythnetvision's aspect ratio or scaling? Or does anyone know a better way to configure my xorg?

Many thanks
