[QUOTE="lkuech, post: 142295, member: 46526"] Hi mystic2k. I was also surprised that MediaPortal lacks in such an important point as I was stumbled about it a few weeks ago. Maybe it is because many people use MediaPortal on there normal PC with the normal 4/3 monitor... not sure... To build a HTPC that have a decent WAF (woman acceptance factor) that is something I have to solve first. Because of this I have build a new zoom mode that is based on the 14:9 zoom, but stretched over the whole screen. With other words the picture is cropped 12,5% of the upper and lower part of the picture and stretched the rest over the screen. This is a compromise between "stretched" and "zoom". Of course this is not as elegant as a real smartzoom that handles the center of a picture in a different way as the borders, but it is much better than a simple stretch. I have plans to post it in the next days. Maybe the devs are will implement it sooner or later (Maybe before the next stable version is released). Unfortunately the implementation of a new zoom mode makes changes in many files necessary, so it is not done with a few clicks... Find attached the sample screenshots of the new zoom mode. BTW: Because of the WAF I currently develop a plugin that automatically switches to the zoom mode if a 4/3 signal was detected. This maybe interesting for you as well.
