Hey everyone,
I'm using build #26558 with a Broadcom card and CrystalHD renderer enabled.
All my 720p and 1080p movies play back beautifully, except for the AAC passthrough problem (which is being worked on, I guess), but I have problem with getting a correct aspect ratio.
The xbmc.log determines the video size correctly, for example (see pastebin) my video is 1280x544, which has been detected by ffmpeg and the CrystalHD driver. But I get a close to 1280x720 picture, so the height of the video is wrong.
What I have to do is then find a frame in the movie with something circular or square in it, so I can use the "pixel ratio" setting to manually correct it. Using a ruler to measure the diameter of the circle, standing in front of my tv (how weird is that), I found out that setting it to 1.26 results in a correct picture. Since this applies to all videos, using all skins (I'm currently using Rapier 3.06), I guess something is not right here.
Also, before TheQuestor added CrystalHD support to his nightly builds, I was using my USB stick with the Ubuntu image to directly boot into XBMC and beside being able to run XBMC in 1080p on my LCD, the aspect ratio was fine with all videos, so I guess it's something to do with the XBMC OSX build.
Does anyone else have that problem? Any insights? Here's my XBMC.log:
