The OSD always uses > fullscreen this way, that?s the positive thing. Maybe a xine post plugin like "expand" would be solution to this issue. It adds a black bar on top and bottom of the 16:9 movie so that the resulting image is 4:3. A quick glance at the source of df_xine showed me, that df_xine lacks support to specify post plugins for xine-lib on the command line. Just give fbxine a try to verify that the expand plugin is what you are looking for before you start porting the post plugin support from fbxine to df_xine, which shouldn't be too complicated ;-) Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.
