I have been doing some more testing. The results described in the original bug only apply when playing an asx playlist which links to a http stream. This is how mythtv serves up the programs. If I download the mpeg file instead and play it locally, aspect changes are completely ignored. If I download the mpeg file and the asx and then modify the asx to reference the local file, aspect changes are still ignored.
Example video files are at: http://al.robotfuzz.com/~al/aspect/ original.asx - the asx file served by mythtv test.mpg - head -c 5000000 of the mpeg file downloaded from mythtv test.asx - asx file modified to play test.mpg I will attach logs next. -- gnome-mplayer does not correctly handle aspect ratio changes in mpeg streams https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521526 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
