Freeview STBs will use 4:3 or letterboxing, either 14:9 or 16:9, as indicated by the AFD setting embedded in the MPEG stream. xine-lib has no support for this wrt picture shape, though it does report its presence and value; there's a patch which improves this. I've observed problems with it, though, when the setting is changed. http://xine-lib.alioth.debian.org/patches-1.1/AFD_support.patch [snip] -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
