    Hi, just wondered if there is a way to set TV aspect ratio by individual channel in MP as we get freeview sat on multiple formats?

    thanks in advance :D

    Hi gigabyter64. My QAM scan shows that several of my channels are squished. When I picked Stretch it seems to fix it. I haven't gone and seen if choosing Stretch messes up others. But I was wondering if there were settings for Aspect Ratio for each channel?

    Anyone know?

    EDIT: ok, I think i need to revise my post. I noticed that when I change channels, if I leave the previous channel playing, the aspect ratio gets either squished or stretched. If I stop the playback before actually choosing the next channel, it does not occur.

    Usually this happens if it is between an SD channel and an HD channel.

    This would be for 1.1.2, on a Comcast QAM scan.

    Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.

    That was it! :) I had to set it to "Maintain display scaling". I think it was set to "Maintain Aspect Ratio", which added black bars to MediaPortal when playing videos that didn't conform to a strict 16:9 ratio, I suppose. Thanks to everyone for the patience and help, I can finally enjoy videos fully.

    Well, I had already recognized your problem, but I still wanted to point out the basic connections once again. Unfortunately, I don't have a fundamentally different solution for you, but with this approach you should achieve your goal. ;) The idea of first setting the current genre colors with the defines is certainly a good one, as...

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
