I have a Full-HD TV attached by HDMI to my MediaPortal box in the living room and use a HD skin to make use of the resolution of the TV (1920x1080). When watching media (video, tv) MediaPortal resizes the original material (mostly smaller than 1920x1080) to keep the resolution on the HDMI output constant.
This is useful for a PC monitor, but not for a TV, which can resize (and deinterlace) itself. So I wonder if it would not be much easier / better, if MP would output the video in its native size (and framerate and interlacing) and let the TV do all the work. This would also improve the picture quality in those cases where the MediaPortal resolution is not the same as the TV's, because it would avoid double resizing (once in MP, once in the TV). Is there a posibilty to let MedaiPortal play the native media format to the HDMI output?
