I know there is a default aspect ratio setting in the general TV setup. Could there be a place to set the default aspect ratio for each channel in the channel config?

    Setting AR to "default" MP will use the correct AR for each station - be aware some are broadcasting their program in a wrong AR

    I can make sure it is on "default" this evening. As I was trying, it was either that or "normal" that was best. However, there is still one station where the people's heads look a bit too elongated unless it is set to "stretch". It would be nice if I could set the AR for just that one channel.


    I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I am running at 1680x1050 resolution, which is 16:10 not 16:9. Also, the channel in question is digital.

    I thought "default" sounded a bit funny, just to make sure, this is the same as "Original Source Format" right?

    I'll try the screen calibration too.

    i have had the same problem that yours.

    I Live in france and watch DVB-T Channels. The only one i watch which is sending a wide signal is NRJ12.

    The first time i set up mp, all was fine exept this channel that was presented with a wrong ar. I took me some time to understand that its a codec problem.

    I went to mp setup/TV/Codec, and put there the codecs bundled with my DVBT Board (the codecs are 'intervideo for hauppauge non css', or smthing like that). Once done, all channels were ok, even nrj12 !

    Good luck !

    sorry, I only looked at the code - it is "Normal" not "Original Source Format".

    nitro is right - you must run the screen calibration! Use a tape measure or ruler to adjust the square there.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    I note that you are using MP2. The following applies to MP1, but I think that MP2 is identical in this situation. "TV Server Config" has a "TV Mapping" panel in the "TV Channels" section. On the "TV Mapping" tab: The left column lists the channels that have not yet been mapped to the TV tuner identified by the drop-down menu just...
