XBMC 13 compiled today. TV channel is dvb-t, SD. Sometimes broadcaster switches video aspect ratio between 16:9 and 4:3. In this case, xbmc should change display according to saved video settings.
Since xbmc 13 (compiled today from latest master) after this switching, video is no longer smootch. I need to stop playback and start it again to make video playback smootch.
Unfortunatelly I don't have debug log. This was during live tv playback and I didn't have debug enabled. Anyone have the same issue? I'll try to enable debug next time I have the chance, to provide more information and I'll post debug log here. But I need to wait for broadcaster to emit such material again.

You could file a bug report on trac.xbmc.org, that should attract more developer attention. I took a quick look but can't make anything out of it.

tv headend does not report the change in aspect ratio. it should trigger reopen of decoder. If it did you would see those in the log
CDVDDemuxPVRClient::RequestStreams()
So report the issue to tv headend

Yeah I was searching for that too but couldn't find it. I guess we found the root cause.

Ok, so first I'm going to update to latest tvheadend (I have rather old version), then test again and report if this issue still exists. I thought this is caused rather by xbmc, so didn't care about tvheadend. I remeber it worked some time ago and then stopped to work.
It's not so common (almost all is 16:9) but very annoying.

Is there any ticket for this on tvheadend that I can subscribe? I'm interested in update as soon as it's fixed. Or if it can help, I can report this and provide sample saved stream.
Also you are probably right about broken player, I can remember that older xbmc (12?) didn't have this issue. Also openelec on Raspberry pi is not affected, possibly because it uses omx player. That's why I assumed it's xbmc problem.

sorry, I was wrong. misinterpreted the log.
Can you provide a recording with a change in aspect ratio?
