Can MP detect a widescreen broadcast (1 Viewer)

[MrSensitive]

And adjust the screen accordingly?

so far nothing I have tried is able to do this..
widescreen broadcast is very common in Belgium and the Netherlands.

recording this in a widescreen resolution or displaying the broadcast vertically stretched to the correct aspect would be a real plus..

It's on the Todo list for the Video Player.
See Todo.txt in C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Docs

As for video / TV capture I would think it's impossible.
Depending on your card / country you should capture at the full D1 resolution where possible 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL / SECAM)
If widescreen is broadcast it's still for example 720x576 but with black bars to and bottom your capture device and to the same effect MP will not receive a Widescreen output notification (example SCART pin 8) that a TV set would usually get.

Try the 'S' key aspect ratio options for now to see how you get on.

I guess if it's on the Todo for the video player if my be implemented for TV as well...
