2010-02-13 23:43:10 Alistair Buxton summary gnome-mplayer (gmplayer) does not correctly handle aspect ratio changes in mpeg streams gnome-mplayer does not correctly handle aspect ratio changes in mpeg streams
2010-02-13 23:44:25 Alistair Buxton description Binary package hint: gnome-mplayer MPEG streams recorded from broadcast television using mythtv often have a changing aspect ratio. For example, the adverts may be in 16:9 and the actual program may be in 4:3. Since mythtv over-records, it is likely that playback starts during the adverts - in the wrong aspect ratio for the actual program. gmplayer does not correctly handle aspect ratio changes when in fullscreen mode. The result depends on whether it is in fullscreen mode when the change occurs. If gmplayer is in windowed mode when the aspect ratio changes, then the window will resize to the correct aspect. But when you switch to fullscreen, the video is displayed in the original (wrong) aspect. If gmplayer is fullscreen when the aspect ratio changes, then the video continues to be displayed in the original (wrong) aspect in both fullscreen mode and also if you switch back to windowed mode. I can supply example recordings to debug this problem.

Also, this behaviour is different to mplayer-nogui which always shows the correct aspect in fullscreen, but always exits fullscreen when a change occurs.
