Hi,
I've been trying to solve my problem for some time - with no success so far. I use DM800 connected to a LCD tv via DVI with output resolution set to 1080i and no autoresolution plugin. For SD channels that broadcast letterboxed material as 4:3 (or 16:9 squashed into 4:3 - missing 16:9 flag in stream) I created my own plugin using /proc/stb/video/policy. It works mostly fine for my needs. The only problem is some channels broadcast 4:3 movies with 16:9 flag set - movie is standard SD 4:3 but with 16:9 turned on it gets resized and is obviously too wide. As SD 16:9 is just standard SD resolution scaled to 16:9 (standard anamorfic projection) it would be nice to be able to tell the receiver to ignore the 16:9 flag and treat the signal as normal 4:3 transmission. Unfortunately I coudn't find any way to do this - if the signal contain the 16:9 flag /proc/stb/video/policy is ignored and /proc/stb/video/policy2 is used instead but then setting it to letterbox gives additional black bars above and below even more squashed video. For now the only way to get the correct aspect for such channels is to switch TV to 4:3 mode, but it also switches the size of Enigma 2 user interface and I need to use second remote - which is annoing.
So the question - is it possible to somehow do what I need or does it need some extra changes in drivers?
Thanks in advance,
m.
