In the latest version of ProgDVB (13 Dec) some of my channels look like they are zoomed, showing only the center portion of the screen. Going back to the previous version all is fine.

Theres a issue with two last versions of Progdvb, it is changing itself to the letterbox screen (in options, video, geometry), so you have to reset manually to "none" to correct video aspect..

PS. I always thoght "letterbox" was reducing picture and putting side black bars, but in Progdvb it means expanding picture, so you may loose lot of image portions (bye-bye logos). :shock:

PS2. A question to Prog: I have some channels that change a lot aspect ratio of picture, but Progdvb keeps fixed, so people is fat-thin-fat...
Is this a source issue or Progdvb is not updating picture aspect info in auto mode?
I will try to discover this, will make some records and run in other players...

Setting are correct and still having problems. If I watch "Rai Sport 1" the picture is too large but "Rai Sport 2" is fine, both indicate as being the same resolution and aspect ratio.

Check letterbox and zoom for both channels.

Settings for both channels are fine. I copied the settings and channel data from the previous version in which it works.

What "marec" said about the settings changing was the main problem but even after correcting the setting I still had a few channel which looked big or zoomed in. None of the setting made any difference for these channels. I tried deleting my channels and re-scanning and this fixed the problem, so it most of been some form of corruption in the channel list data. This is strange because if I use the same (maybe) corrupt data in the last older version of ProgDVB all channels are fine.
