Eden showing differing aspect ratio info for shows - voip-ninja - 2012-07-21 00:24

Hello everyone,

I've noticed something odd and I'm not sure what the cause is, so I thought I would ask. I am currently running Eden final + HD audio patch load.

What I have observed is that for TV shows (which I have generated NFO with Ember) I am getting different aspect ratio icons in Eden for different shows that have the same resolution. It's rather odd.

For example;

Episode 1 of Game of Thrones has an icon showing aspect ratio is 4:3. This is the info from media inspector for this file;

Code:
Video
ID                               : 1
Format                           : AVC
Format/Info                      : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile                   : High@L4.1

Scan type                        : Progressive
Bits/(Pixel*Frame)               : 0.511
Stream size                      : 10.9 GiB (93%)

And this is the relevant info section from the file;

Code:
<video>
        <aspect>1.778</aspect>
        <codec>h264</codec>
        <duration>61</duration>
        <height>1080</height>
        <width>1920</width>
      </video>

Episode 2 of Game of Thrones shows proper aspect ratio of 16:9 and has this info;

Code:
Video
ID                               : 1
Format                           : AVC
Format/Info                      : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile                   : High@L4.1
Format settings, CABAC           : Yes
Format settings, ReFrames        : 4 frames
Format settings, GOP             : M=3, N=26
Muxing mode                      : Header stripping
Codec ID                         : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
Duration                         : 55mn 17s
Bit rate mode                    : Variable
Bit rate                         : 25.4 Mbps
Maximum bit rate                 : 35.0 Mbps
Width                            : 1 920 pixels
Height                           : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio             : 16:9
Frame rate                       : 23.976 fps
Color space                      : YUV
Chroma subsampling               : 4:2:0
Bit depth                        : 8 bits
Scan type                        : Progressive
Bits/(Pixel*Frame)               : 0.511
Stream size                      : 9.81 GiB (93%)
Language                         : English

and nfo file;

Code:
<video>
        <aspect>1.778</aspect>
        <codec>h264</codec>
        <duration>55</duration>
        <height>1080</height>
        <width>1920</width>
      </video>

So, I'm confused. Both movies are the same resolution and both show an aspect ratio of 1.778 generated by Ember... yet, in XBMC episode one shows as 4:3 and episode 2 shows as 16:9. What gives?
