Default

I've had this problem for several versions including the latest RC and today's SVN.

Screwing around w/default video players in the Movies setup section seem to fix it before , (can't recall exactly what I did) but on a clean install w/latest version today, the problem is back.

Even when this particular problem was fixed I always had an issue where random videos (probably not really random but I never figured out what they had in common... though usually w/ hd aspect ratio) would not display video until I changed the aspect ration to zoom.

(tweaking screen calibration has some effect but I could never get 100% of my files to show video 100% of the time)

It would be nice to get basic things like this resolved or explained. Alas, most dev focus (and understandably so) seems geared toward tv record/playback.

Personally, I only use MP to play files that I download. Never setup or use TV record features. Why record when it's already out there, commercial free?

Downside is, of course, lots of different formats. I can't really expect them all to play flawlessly.
