Ok -- I got it to compiled and running it now. I can the difference between native and xbmc. I am watching a Top Gear episode, the native resolution is 640x352, which is closer to 16:9. When I play the file, I can see the HDMI resync, the TV goes blank and then it says HDMI is in 640x480 mode (which is 4:3). So technically its not really correct.
I am connecting the xbmc to a Pioneer Elite VSX-23TXH receiver which is connected to 70" TV.
Two issues (sorry if these were already answered earlier)
1. The audio starts playing immediately, but it takes about 2-3 seconds before the video is displayed.
2. When I play this file without the NR turned on, the file is played in stretched mode and no black bars on left/right side. But in native resolution, I see the black bars and I cant get rid of them. The video xbmc->video settings->Crop black bars, doesnt do anything. Also, the video mode also doesnt change anything for the L/R black bars. The only way I can get rid of the black bars is buying using the stretch function in my TV.
Here is my advanced settings changes
Code:
<nativeupscale>
<overridefps>true</overridefps>
<correctpixelratio>true</correctpixelratio>
<destres>1920x1080</destres>
<minoutres>0x0</minoutres>
<maxsrcres>0x0</maxsrcres>
</nativeupscale>
Here is log from xbmc.log for the HDMI-0 (Pioneer Rcvr)
