In 3D Landscape view, after I play a TV show, some info appears that wasnt there before (720, H.264, Dolby Digital, 5.1, and the aspect ratio).Most of the time the aspect ratio displayed is correct, but sometimes it is not. I'm getting an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 or 4:3 for a TV show where all episodes are 16:9 MKV files. Anyone know how this can be fixed? Thanks.

Nothing to do with the skin..

Xbmc pulls this data from your files sometimes it's wrong and sometimes files are corrupt.
Unless this makes something catch fire and explode you can pretty much just ignore it. :p

can it be that sometimes tvshow rips is 4:3 in the beginning and go 16:9 when the show begins? seen that behavior on some shows.

No, these are blu ray rips so the AR is constant.

AR is an overall thing, it doesn't change throughout a video in reality even if there are black bars present the aspect is still the same.
I don't know a single container format that allows a continuous stream to change ratios so this is unlikely.

Someone mentioned this has nothing to do with the skin. Even still, anyone know how I can get these files to be properly flagged?

There was a post, Ronie commented and a Dev responded with a good detailed answer on how scanning flags(video details) works. It wasn't too long ago but I searched 5 pages of ronie's posts but couldn't find it.

One thing I remember from the post was flags(video details) can change after playback for some sources. If anyone would want to find it search Ronies post history can't be more than a month old...

If you have windows, install MediaInfo and then post the text view of one of the files.

I got it working right. I refreshed episode info for whatever eps were showing up incorrectly. I then played them for a second or two and then the correct info showed up.

Heres the info from Mediainfo anyway.

Hmmm, ok, glad you got it sorted... was looking to see if your files had any custom Display aspect ratio set in the file itself, which it doesnt appear to be, just 16x9.
