[QUOTE="lkuech, post: 141031, member: 46526"] Hi Cheffe. If you use a codec that is aware of aspect ratio changes like the ones from CyberLink (PowerDvd) or Nvidia, then ViewModeSwitcher is detecting this change as well and can react on it. So even if a commercial break comes with a different aspect ratio (i.e. 4:3) the plugin will switch to the viewmode you have chosen in your rule. With changing channels this is the same. At least with the TVPlugin and the TvServer 0.3. It may work with the old TVengine as well, but I did no tests under this environment. The version 0.2 that I am currently working on is also aware of letterbox transmissions (faked 16:9 like Pro7, Sat1 and Co. use) and will automatically switch to the "Zoom" mode to make sure the picture still fit the whole (wide) screen. I also developed a new zoom mode which is a compromise between "Zoom" and "Stretch" to have a more decent way to watch 4:3 on a wide screen, but this can not be integrated via a plugin. So I have to discuss this with the developers directly. CU Lars [/QUOTE]
