Zoom do not keep aspect ratio (1 Viewer)

[fer2]

I have a 16:9 TV 1080p native resolution. When in zoom mode, Y-axis (vertical) is multiplied by 1.22 instead of 1.33. The effect when wathing TV or Videos is that figures (persons or whatever) are shorter in Zoom mode than in 4:3. I think my screen is perfectly callibrated. Both axis, horizontal and vertical should be multiplied by 1.33 in zoom mode, but it seems that only horizontal is multiplied by 1.33 while vertical is multiplied by 1.22 approx.

I measured this in RC2, I wonder if fixed in RC3, did not try yet

This is my ScreenCalibration1920x1080.fs.xml file:

Can you still reproduce this error? It sounds really weird. If you can reproduce it, then could I ask you to activate the autocropper plugin, do a manual crop and post logs from this?

Thanks

I installed RC3 and the problem is still there. By the way, is it possible that it only happens when I have a specific TV channel? I'm not sure if it holds for other TV channels. I can try autocrop, but I have no idea of what paremeters you want me to try. I'm using a very mice plugging called AutoModeSwitch for autoZoom activation when horizontal bars are present in Video or TV shows, may be autocrop does someting similar but it is difficult for me to understand it. Let mw know what to do next.

Thank you!!!!

Hi fer2,

I have this problem when a TV channel shows a logo partly in the black bars on top and bottom of the picture. The zoom is kind of "intelligent" and tries to adapt the zoom so that all "content" of the picture can be shown.
I think this is codec related. I'm using PowerDVD 8 and have this behaviour.

Regards,
Sepp.

Please check if you see the problem for recordings as well and if you do, please upload a small recording, (30 s is plenty) to the ftp server:

Address: ftp.team-mediaportal.com
Login: tsdump@team-mediaportal.com
Password: mpuser88

Also, please post some logs when you reproduce the error, preferably obtained using mediaportal logs collector (found in start menu).

hi,

i would like to report a similar problem, that i had(!).
In my case the zoom was going crazy when i switched to certain channels.
the picture was downsized and since it was smaller mp showed for there rest of the screen the same picture again...like that:

Original size of TV picture

A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6

Shown picture:

A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 + A1 A2


well, it was at least a codec problem. I reinstalled my powerdvd installation. than it was gone.
may be you should check your codec installation.

Only with one TV channel

Hello,

About the problem I reported in this thread: I think it only happens when I tune one of the TDT TV channels (my favorite by the way), I do not have zoom aspect ratio problems with other TDT TV channels. May be it is a problem with the TV station and not MP.

It is all very interesting, but impossible to do anything about since you don't even post logs, or upload a sample as requested. You are just wasting yours and my time by these unhelpful posts.
My guess is it is caused by a codec problem on your pc.

I just want to say that my problem was related to codec configuration. I had to reinstall powerdvd, than it run fine again.
