Thank you
When it comes to video my rips are exactly what was on the disc so yes, they would have the black bars. I'm plenty familiar with why these show as 16:9. Was just wondering how you got yours to be different and didn't consider a rip removing the black bars.

also a bit curious.... How did you get The Theory of Everything to display a 21:9 aspect ration? In my experience the scanners always recognize these movies as 16:9

The whole thing with getting kodi to display correct aspect ratio is not easy. He probably has a file encoded in 800-816 pixels height (1920 width) then kodi will display 2.35:1 or 21:9 (skin dependent).
If you have your movies ripped from bluray and not encoded, they are all 16:9, with black bars in the frame, that is how bluray works. I guess the best solution would be to somehow edit that tag manually for every movie. The next best thing is to avoid the tag.
That goes for the 5.1, 7.1 audio channel tag as well. It is somehow a part of the current ffdshow and it just doesn't work, never did, i believe. Numerous threads around on this topic. It should be fixed with kodi 15, but still not it the beta. Best would be if you could edit it manually or avoid the tag.

Yeah the black bars are cropped during ripping leaving at 1920x800 res file.

Yeah unfortunately I think the skins can only access certain information. I wouldn't be able to make that change. It's is a bit of a pain.

Actually scratch that.... I have a few things to check out on what way title/paths are done... I'll get back to you. Foldername might be the way to go after all.
