Hi there

just been switching to TVE3. I noticed that the "normal view" looks the same as "stretched" on my 16:9. The result is that all 4:3 TV shows are now stretched which I don't always like. Can I get the "normal view" when using TVE3?

Thanks,

jayrock

Jayrock.

Are you using MPV as your Movies decoder? Try using a different decoder and see if it helps.

Sorry for the late answer. You mean changing the TV decoder (not the movies decoder)? No, it doesn't help. Tried MPV, Nvidia, Dscaler.

I should mention that it works w/o problems when using TVE2.

Will upgrade SVN during weekend and see if that helps.

He meant movies decoder.

No idea why but the TV client/server uses the configuration settings in 'Movies' and not 'Television', probably because the Television section is all part of the old TV plugin.

There is also a default view setting that can be set to 'Normal'.

Hi guys,

set the decoder in Movies to Nvidia, that solved it, thanks!
