[mythtv-users] Playback looks at screensize not at monitor or windowsize

[Hika van den Hoven]

Hoi All,

 I recently got a new extra monitor for my workcomputer and was
 experimenting with displaying mythtv on there. The configuration is
 two monitors (1920x1080 and 1600x1200) in one screen (3520x1200)
 I have tried both displaying mythtv in a full window on the new
 screen and in a smaller one 1280x720. Everything goes ok until I try
 playback, either live or recorded. I get a display with 16:9
 stretched out to 3520:1200 or 44:15. It seems Mythtv looks at the
 screen size and not at the monitor or window size.
 I set up the windowsize in Screen Settings with "Use GUI size for TV
 playback" checked. Above there I now can select which screen to
 display on (0, 1 or All) but of cause they are all the same, the
 monitors are organized in one screen. Also I can select an aspect
 ratio (16:9, 16:10 and 4:3) bot not 44:15. It actually says there it
 cannot query a xinerama display and I should specify it, which I can
 understand. But I cannot, for the right values are missing.
 Could  this field be split in two or to some running percentage, so
 you can specify something? The three possibilities are nonsense for a
 xinerama display, it will always be two or more monitors linked
 together. Either that or it should look at the GUI setting for the
 aspect ratio.



  I can get a somewhat
 decent display by falsely telling the 16:9 picture is 4:3.
