16:9 resolution (1920x1080) the picture is to narrow.

[Lamer17]

When my screen has 16:9 resolution (1920x1080) the picture gets compressed, the view window isn't wide enough. 4:3 resolution (1024x768) works fine. This should be a easy bug to fix. I use Ubuntu 9.10 - the Karmic Koala. Me TV version 1.0.0.1ubuntu1.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. I'm not sure that this is a bug rather a new feature, see https://blueprints.launchpad.net/me-tv/+spec/native-video-resolution-zoom.

"This should be a easy bug to fix" ... well then if it's easy, when you've got a patch let me know.

How should i put this, the aspect ration of the the TV output in the black
area is wrong. Im gonna write some Pascal code to inspire you. :P

//the VideoXRatio,VideoYRatio is probbably 4:3 or 16:9
procedure SetVideoOutputInBlackArea(VideoXRatio,VideoYRatio : integer);
var 1XRatio,1YRation : integer;
begin
// integer division where we throw away the mod part since its not needed
  1XRatio := BlackArea.Width div VideoXRatio;
  1YRatio := BlackArea.Height div VideoYRatio;

//we want the smaller one of the ratios so it will fit within the black area

  if 1XRatio < 1YRatio then
  begin
      VideoOutput.Width := 1XRatio * VideoXRatio;
      VideoOutput.Height := 1XRatio * VideoYRatio;
  end
  else
  begin
      VideoOutput.Width := 1YRatio * VideoXRatio;
      VideoOutput.Height := 1YRatio * VideoYRatio;
  end;
end;
// after this you just have to center the VideoOutput area in the black area

Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible for any errors in this code.

I haven't even tested it since i just wrote it in this mail. But it should
work.
Because I wrote it.

Enjoy :)

Best regards Sami
