[mythtv-users] Xine not filling up screen

[Nick Ellson]

I have this same issue with Xine, but only one 3 DVD .iso's in my 
collection. The Abyss, and Troy off the top of my head both show up in 
aspect correct wide screen, it's just not expanded to fill my HDTV screen.

I have at least 40 other movies that do open up to at least fill from edge 
to edge.  I was wondering if Xine's Auto detect just misses something in 
the format of these particular films. It takes roughly 3 to 4 "z"ooms to 
bring it to each edge for me.

If you find a way to start Xine at that zoom level, then at least Myth can 
be tailored for each ISO in the database.
