Something I've noticed with the latest build -- when playing a movie, wider than 16:9 (having black borders top at bottom, like 2,35:1), with DVDPlayer, top-most and bottom-most lines seems like swapped; like this:

Code:

9 <- should be bottom-most line, but is top-most, instead
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
1 <- should be top-most line, but is bottom-most, instead

More easily observed with encoded, trimmed SD content, with some difference in brightness between top and bottom of the frame. Not sure if this is with latest version only. Works fine with OMXPlayer.

If it's the same thing, its been present for a while (I noticed it on my test ISO when dvdplayer support arrived but never bothered to mention it as it only affected one file). Try this 500KB sample (dropbox) of the offending file.

Set zoom to "normal" (720,576)->(1920,1080).

With dvdplayer, during the first 3 to 4 seconds as the text scrolls toward the middle of the screen, you should see moving white dots present at the very top of the screen/frame (although only the left half of the topmost line), which then disappear once all the text is visible on screen.

It's as though the left half of the bottom most line is being output at the top of each frame. It's possible that the top and bottom lines are being transposed, however that's not entirely obvious in the sample.

I don't see this issue with OpenELEC 4 Beta2 x86.

With omxplayer, there are no dots and the video is rendered correctly.
