This works, but not very well: a) The OSD is also zoomed, this is especially annoying when replaying a recording, because then it is completely off screen. b) It is very very uncomfortable. It takes several keypresses to zoom in. After a channel switch one has to zoom out again. Zoom reset doesn't work in fullscreen mode (maybe a xine bug). An automatic solution like the centre-cut-out-mode is better. I don't know if it's very hard to implement such a function, but if it's easy it should be done. S.
