Setting Aspect Ratio and Language for MKV files

mugmoor · 2008-06-12, 02:40

MediaPortal Version: Latest
MediaPortal Skin: Default (Widescreen Version)
Windows Version: XP SP3
CPU Type: Intel Dual Core
Video Card: EVGA GeForce 8600GT

I can play .mkv files just fine, but I have a few that are a bit of a problem.

All of them are in their original aspect ratio, which has to be manually set to match my TV (LG 32" HDTV, 720p so 16:9). I can do this with VLC MEdia player fine, but is there a way to set MP to do this automatically?

Secondly, a few of my movies have different languages set to the default audio channel, which again you can easily switch in VLC, is there a way to do this in MP?

1. yes
2. yes

1: I don't understand exactly what you want. There is a plugin that automatically sets the mode (zoom, stretch etc.).
2: You can use haali media splitter to select the audio stream, using mp you can switch via keyboard (I don't remember the key).
