I am experiencing a very strange problem with XBMC.

Sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes, when playing a video file or straight from a DVD, my aspect ratio unexpectedly changes, black bars close in either vertically, horizontally, or both. Then they will recede. Sometimes they will bob around for a while before it finally stops.

I've gone into the video settings in the OSD and tried a few different view modes. normal, zoom, stretch 4:3, etc, etc... nothing helps.
The same video files and dvds play properly in wmp, real player, and vlc.

Anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it? It's very annoying. Driving me and the girlfriend nuts!

Someone or something is inadvertently pressing the aspect ratio key on the keyboard or remote control, perhaps?

Have seen this happen with 'crop black bars' activated in video osd settings - as suggested over on AVSForum JapanDave lol.

I did have "crop black bars" on, just turned it off. Now we wait and see if it happens again.

Thanks steelman1991
