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

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

Maximum bit rate                 : 35.0 Mbps

Width                            : 1 920 pixels

Display aspect ratio             : 16:9

Frame rate                       : 23.976 fps

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?
