[patch] New Feature - New Zoom Mode: Zoom 14:9 and Strech (2 Viewers)

[gpf1024]

Hi everyone,

I just submitted a patch to sourceforge. The patch implements a new zoom mode, which I believe is very nice when watching 4:3 content on a 16:9 TV.

The zoom mode is very similar to the existing Zoom 14:9 mode, but it also stretches the picture to fill the screen after zooming in (i.e. cropping).

The patch and a few more details on the implementation can be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1752266&group_id=107397&atid=647927

Cheers,
gpf1024

Hey, maybe i'm stupid but I unzipped to my mediaportal folder and I don't see this new zoom mode under the aspect ratio menu? What did I do wrong?

Its a source code patch, you need to apply it to the SVN source code and then recompile MP.

So I guess I'll have to wait till it's in MP

Really useful mode, thanks!
Btw, I saw that patch changed that many files because the following code repeated in all these files:

        if (strValue.Equals("zoom"))
          GUIGraphicsContext.ARType = ediaPortal.GUI.Library.Geometry.Type.Zoom;
       ...

I think it should be moved to some utility method.

HeHe...

I use a similar zoom mode here for a long time. As I mentioned it here in the forum somewhere there was not much interest. Good to see that I'am not the only one that uses such a mode. The WAF (Woman Acceptance Factor) increases dramatically when those black bars on the left and right side are disappearing without stretching the picture to much.

Is there any Dev already aware of this patch? Or is the integration not possible before the stable 0.2.3.0 is out?

Bye

Hi,
can someone perhaps sent me a compiled version?
I Use 0.2.3.0 RC1 with 2 week old SVN.

I do not know, how to compile it. Sorry.

Bye Sidekick
