[QUOTE="Druinthor, post: 1090431, member: 148807"] Hi all, The problem I have is that by default the aspect ratio decides to zoom in and out depending on the video that is playing. Scenes with black around the edges (QI is a classic for this) MediaPortal will decide to zoom in slightly to remove the "black borders" it thinks are there. Then the scene will change and it will zoom back out after about 5 seconds or so. If I change the aspect ratio to "Zoom" it stops this behaviour immediately however I don't seem to be able to get it to use this aspect ratio by default. Going into the settings for TV to the aspect ratio option confuses me as when I select say option 6 "zoom" then go back into the option to check it again it seems like the option is set to 3 "original". This behaviour happens for all the options in there. You select one option, go back in to confirm and it has highlighted another option. Regardless, changing these settings does not seem to change the behaviour of the default aspect ratio anyway. Sorry if this has come across confusingly but I hope one of you can help. Thanks Ben[DOUBLEPOST=1405031965][/DOUBLEPOST]I have just discovered the settings for aspect ratio in the Media Portal Configuration section which has a default and where you can disable aspect ratios... This looks like it might solve my issues. Hopefully someone may stumble across this and it helps them. I will post back if I am still experiencing issues. Thanks [/QUOTE]
