    Question Aspect ratio plugin

    Hello,

    Last night I upgraded my box through online update to the latest build (793) and since then the aspect ratio plugin keeps on crashing when I press the button on my remote.

    Will this be fixed in the future build or do we have to wait for a new plugin ?

    Thanks

    Hi,
    from what build did you update? If you last build was <760 then you need to do a backup, complete flash of #793 and restore.

    That is not weird, but correct.
    1- Aspect ratio's are now working correct, so there is no plugin needed anymore (it was to work-around issues)
    2- TS-panel is and never was compatible with ViX; hence it's not on the feeds. And why would you want it for anyway?

    Do I miss something here ?

    You tell me that you can change on the fly aspect ratio with this build of the image ?

    So you can force 16/9 pan scan on a 4/3 stream ?

    I'm lost

    No, I say that aspect ratio is now working correct. That means that the setting you made in AV-settings will now be obeyed.

    Because the plugin allows a faster switch then via the menu?

    Some channels are streaming in 4/3 but the movie is in 16/9. So you have to use the aspect ratio to zoom the picture to avoid the black stripes from left/right and up/down.

    So this is why it is usefull.

    So then you can change the policy in AV-Settings, but the plugin allows this to be done faster?

    Yes, with only one button on the remote. Sometimes the proper ratio can't be detected automatically, so the need of this plugin.
