[QUOTE="Statick, post: 688261, member: 86182"] hey, i'm really confused as to how to use this plugin i've got it installed and working, but it just doesn't seem to be configured very well. some videos play just fine, and appear how i want them to. but LOADS do not. i downloaded this because i wanted a "it just works" solution, and i seem to have made things worse. now every time i press play it's a lottery as to whether the thing will even be watchable or not. i have plenty of videos that seem to change mode every few seconds. episodes of "peep show" are particularly bad and always begin incorrectly, with the aspect ratio all wrong, then switching to the correct display mode, only to switch back again. this is pretty unpleasant behaviour, i'd rather it just decided what mode to display a video in and then left it alone (i guess this live switching would make more sense when watching live TV though) also, 4:3 stuff is being displayed "fully zoomed out" as in actually 4:3 when i'd rather show it at 14:9 i know i can fix that in the advanced settings, but i started poking around and after several attempts of shutting down MP, opening up config, going into plugin setting, adjusting something, closing down, starting up MP, finding video, pressing play, shutting down MP, etc, etc, etc, i never got the results i wanted. the thing is, i don't know what the different aspect ratios actually look like (what's 4:3 letterbox rather than just 4:3?) and there's nothing to tell me what they are. no mention of any of this in the wiki. and then i have no idea what the chosen MP view setting will look like either - i normally just cycle through them until the picture looks right. i don't actually know what any of them "do" but the config here assumes that i do, and that i know them all perfectly. i don't! i think the problem is mainly that the documentation is limited and i don't really have the patience to keep adjusting settings randomly to see what works. the "1-click config" simply does not work well enough, and the docs on the wiki don't really tell me anything. i've read the wiki start to finish 3 times now, and i still have no idea what i'm supposed to do. also, MP config crashes upon opening with this plugin installed (a .NET crash, config still apparently works after closing the error dialog) if anyone could point me in the direction of what i should be adjusting in config, that would be grand. sorry if i sound grumpy, it's late, i'm not well, and i've been struggling with these settings for a few hours now, and it's making my head hurt. now i've got the picture going all over the place. sometimes its all squished up to one side. sometimes it fills the screen. sometimes its all squished in the middle. this is horrible.
