Kaffeine = wrong aspect ratio?

[Aldrik]

The last to versions of kaffeine have displayed video with the correct width but always has the height stretched by about 30px (depends on the vid).

So I was just wondering if it was just me or is every one getting this?



PS. If I save a screenshot from within kaffeine it saves it a to right size. Also if I change it to use the embedded mplayer it has the correct height video but adds a black border (so the player is the same size as when stretched with the kaffeine engine).

Re: Kaffeine = wrong aspect ratio?

kaffeine uses the xine engine for playback, which in turn reads the monitor aspect from either EDID of a specific config line in your xorg.conf monitor section

DisplaySize       340 195

where the first and second numbers are x and y size of your screen in millimeters.

All fixed...

Thank Teppic, I had tried to set DisplaySize in my xorg config but for some reason it doesn't change. (had no idea it effected kaffeine/xine).

After a bit of searching I found that nvidia users can set it by adding the following to device section...

   Option   "UseEdidDpi"   "FALSE"
   Option   "DPI"   "96 x 96"
