720494 2008-11-16 00:52:00 My flatmate has an xbox running XBMC & ever since we set the dashboard to 720P, we can't get videos playing in widescreen. When the dashboard was set to pal 4:3 there was an option to automatically switch between 4:3 & 16:9 but I can't find that option now. It Letterboxes all my widescreen videos then stretches them over the whole screen instead of playing them in the correct aspect ratio. Greven (91)
720495 2008-11-16 06:48:00 Have you run the original XBox dashboard and set to Widescreen in there?

Also have you run through the Video calibration in XBMC?
You can also set the default video aspect ratio setting. It may be set to stretch to full screen.

Thanks. The video mode had to be set to normal instead of widescreen. Quite odd

720497 2008-11-16 09:58:00 Is it a widescreen TV? If not then it needs to be set to normal or Letterbox. CYaBro (73)
