Implemented Non-Linear (Smart) Stretching of 4:3->16:9

[bobbyd87]

Looks like something may have changed in core.dll
I'm using the 1-14-2008 SVN and My TV (with TV Server) fails to load after replacing the core.dll

Is this smart stretch mode going to be rolled in to the SVN?

[patricon]

Yes, i'm wondering if this mode can be added in next SVN, cause i'm using 0.2.3 version + latest SVN and i would like to use it.

Excellent! This is something I have been wating for for quite a while. It makes my HTPC much more usable for watching regular TV and it hugely increases the WAF facto :-). Although more and more stuff being broadcast is 16:9 nowadays, a lot of stuff is still 4:3, even new productions. I'm going to try this out as soon as I get home and I hope it becomes part of the SVN soon. This mode will be a great combination with the viewswitcher plugin.

Thank you so much this!

Hi

For thouse of your how wants a patch for the last build 17383.. I have add an attachment..
1.- Includes the NonLinear aspect radio patch
2.- MCE Services does are not begging stoped when you start Mp---

Ones you install last SVN build 17383, you must copy the content of the zip file to the MP Folder.

Hope this works for you
Iosu
Note : this works for english version if you want another version you need to change string on \language\strings_xx.xml

Ones you install last SVN build 17383

Released in a few hours, possibly sooner, just in case anyone is confused, and starts looking for this release straight way and cannot find it.

Cheers iosub, i just love this aspect ratio, as does the rest of the family.

[patricon]

with all my respect but, to send a patch whenever a new SVN is released, seems very absurd to me. Why it's not included into the main project and released into the next SVN?? this patch is really useful for me and i'm sure that also for many other people... so please, include it into official releases...

regards,

UPS Sorry I forgot to say that... my fault.. (I check the SVN and you can also aplay the patch to build 17378 that is already posted yesterday, no changes since yesterday on MP)

ALso, if you just want the new aspect but keep MP stopping the MCE services you just need to copy core.dll and string_en.xml..

Because MP is code fresse for long time, MPII will have this new aspect ratio included.
