hi,
when the msdashboard is set to widescreen i would like to have the option in xbmc to always send the widescreen signal to the tv, not just for widescreen movies...
probably the answer would be well we already do, but let me explain...
when having a normal tv broadcast and the tv is showing it, it has the build in option to 'stretch' the original signal to match the tv full screen. now when i record a program on my pc and watch it with xbmc it always shows 4:3 on the tv.
the option to zoom or stretch is not a good option as that means: or that the aspect ratio is screwed, or the subtitles fall off.
so this request is to be able to treath 4:3 recordings just as a regular broadcast.
fyi: if playing a 4:3 dvd, msdashboards dvd player lets the tv stretch the picture as mentioned. so why could xbmc not do this as well!?
