Can I have my AutoASpect Ratio back now please?

[sandiego69]

Sorry, but I am not impressed with all the tinkering with VideoMode or Resolution etc.

I really don't care whether the picture is 1280, 720, 540 or whatever. I just want to be able to, as before, with one button press, alter any picture ratio on any channel that either permanently or temporarily transmits a picture that is displayed incorrectly on my Sony Bravia.

I cannot believe that I am alone here in this request that the developers reconsider their approach to, what to me is, a really annoying feature of OpenVix. In all other aspects Vix is second to none for reliability, features and stability.

Simple answer is disable it :rolleyes:

[sandiego69]

'Disabling' was the first thing I did. However, you are not alone here by missing my point in both here and other threads.. It is not RESOLUTION I am concerned with. It is RATIO. Please re-read my post above. When I had the plugin AutoAspectRatio I could alter an incorrectly transmitted picture that some channels had. For example, a squashed up 4:3 picture could be instantly switched to 16:9.

Why am I having so much of a problem getting myself understood.

does your TV not have a button for that ?

[abu baniaz]

My TV does not . I too would like to have the Ratio setting back if possible please. I can't get on with pillar box viewing/having to change it every time.

[richardinspain]

i don't have a disable option on mine, am running current 776
and when i try to change 'display 4:3 content' it crashes the box...any ideas?
thanks

[andyblac]

guy's just do not understand you issues, aspect is working, what the problem ?

[Sicilian]

Can we have a step by step to replicate your issue.

[richardinspain]

My issue is on the gigablue quad so i'll start a new thread

[Rob van der Does]

In any step-by-step it's important to give access to the files used for playback.

Yes you are correct. This has to be set before enabling the Auto Resolution.

[BubbleBalls]

No issues with my Quad after a fresh flash at 750 (or was it 760?).

Hi,

thanks
yes. You updated from a build <760 to a build >760. Build #760 or later requires a fresh install. Backup your settings, flash a current version and restore your settings.

aspect has nothing to do with Auto Resolution.

[abu baniaz]

Yes. That is where the confusion has come from. Someone mentions aspect, and discussion digresses to resolution.
Following my receiver blip yesterday, I have started fresh with no restore. All is well now.

[Trial]

Hi,
I think the abbreviation AR might confuse people because it can mean Auto Resolution but also Aspect Ratio and both have something to do with the display format.

ciao

[garyblas]

Im running 775, did fresh flash when changed to 760.
My TV is a Panasonic which does auto aspect, however if i watch a free to air normal tv program broadcast in 4:3 mode it auto adjusts. If i switch to my Vu Duo box to watch the same program it stays in 4:3 mode

Therefore i must agree with other posts Aspect does not work?

My settings are correct:
30183

Not sure what you mean now, as you have 'just scale' for 4:3. Normally one would use 'Pillarbox'.

Regardless of setting it always shows the screen in Pillarbox
i.e Black lines down the side - I prefer it to fill the screen

Then it looks like the signal is actually 16:9 (i.e. the black bars are in the video). Many 4:3 contents is being transmitted that way.

And about the TV doing auto-aspect: as far as I know the HDMI-signal sent by the STB is always 16:9, so there's not much 'auto' to do.

OK.. still dont explain why then in normal free to air on TV same program does fill screen..
Just have to live with it.

Cheers

[Mr. Mister]

Gary.. Change your pillar box to Just Scale..

Works for me on my Quad..

[ronand]

4:3 content shown on a HD channel is usually transmitted as 16:9 - the pillarbox is intended to be there. An example of this would be The Simpsons on Sky One HD.

I need some more inf: are you now comparing the same program on two different channels? If so, one will be sending in 4:3 and the other channel in 16:9. At least, that's what I understand from your report.
And if so: nothing can be changed about that. Any 16:9 signal will be reproduced by the box in 16:9. Only a 4:3 signal can be re-adjusted via the 'show 4:3 as .....'.

Tip: you can see the actual ration that's in the signal. The icon's in OSD will show either 4:3 or 16:9. And if 16:9, nothing can be changed at all. Not before the recent changes and not now.

Ok i was watching Frazier on Channel 4 , using my normal tv not box it shows the program full screen.
Switching on box and putting on same channel I get picture in pillar box format.
Dont think my OSD shows format, unless you mean 544x576i25 as in attachment?30188

Maybe live TV screen format is set to "smart", but the TV hdmi is set to "wide"?

[garyblas]

Both set to Auto

[Sirius]

Both set to Auto

Switch both off on your tv. And see if it sorts your problem

[zoro25]

Also disabled on mine,
My issue was my Sharp TV just got confused with the ration and picture size adjusting resulting in long black screens when moving from HD to SD.

Now it is off everything is back to working fine again with V-quick Zaps.
