Hi,
I have been searching the various search engines and this forum, but cannot find an answer - so apologies if I've missed something obvious...
I can't seem to get xbmc on my iMac and Mac mini (late 2009) to display video in the correct aspect ratio.
It wants to display everything slightly too wide.
e.g. any ripped PAL DVDs should be displaying at 1024x576 (or 1920x1080 when zoomed obviously) but, when pressing "z" to flick through the settings, the 'original' playback is at 1051x576 - too wide.
This is also the case for any encoded anamorphic mp4s etc. - a video with a Display size of 853x480 will playback at 870x480.
I don't believe this is anything to do with the videos, as XBMC is the only playback software to produce this bug
Has anyone else seen this or know what's causing it? :confused2:
If you're unsure if your setup is doing this, please play an anamorphic video of which you know what the display size should be then press "z" to get to the 'original' setting and see what you get.
I absolutely LOVE XBMC and this is the only thing preventing me from truly enjoying it.
Thanks.
