I have both the general Kodi 17 and Kodi 17 for Minix installed on my Minix U9. In both of these applications, stretching a video (a widescreen formatted video) to 16:9 doesn't work. I tried FTMC, a Kodi 16 fork, and stretching to 16:9 worked as expected. I then played the same video in Kodi 17 and, lo and behold, stretching started to work, and continued to do so even after uninstall FTMC. However, it stops working if I do a system reboot. It seems very weird that I need to first open the video in FTMC before Kodi 17 starts working properly ? What's going on ?

Here's a recording of what I just explained: https://streamable.com/zf0tv

Here's the log file before opening FTMC : https://pastebin.com/L66HY3W5

Here's the log file after opening FTMC : https://pastebin.com/KYihC4uj


Here's a full log from the moment I open Kodi : https://pastebin.com/ZvCtqZb3

Please post the full logs if you want assistance.

Full logs like from the moment Kodi first starts ?

Yes. Once you enable debugging mode, restart Kodi, then replicate the problem.

Have you had time to take a look at my log file ?

Interesting

The AML mediacodec "forgets" to enable full stretch mode (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/Jarvis....cpp#L2300)
As FTMC is Jarvis-based, it uses amcodec, which enables it, and it's never reset.

To be communicated to Minix so that they (or amlogic) can enable it in their firmware.

Thanks for the explanation. I hope this gets solved soon, as if affects the playback of full SBS or OU 3D videos.
