I have a 16:10 display and there is only 4:3 or 16:9 as an option for telivision shape. So I have to watch it stretched which is pretty annoying. Anyone else watching TV on their computer with a widescreen monitor?

I may add a 16:10 option in the future, but probably wont do it near future. (there is a long complex story why...)

In the meantime you can tweak the <AspectRatioModes> setting in config.xml to get the right aspect ratios for 16:10.

Here's what I did for my config.xml
Code:
<AspectRatioModes>
    <AspectRatioMode name="Auto" ratio="0,0,0,0" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="4:3" ratio="0,0,1,1" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="4:3 (Top Clipped)" ratio="0,-0.01,1,1" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="16:10" ratio="0,0.09,1,0.91" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="16:9" ratio="0,0.125,1,0.875" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="2.35:1" ratio="0,0.2165,1,0.7835" />
  </AspectRatioModes>

I believe that these numbers will actually do the opposite of what you want, but it shows that you can make custom aspect ratios.

When you press f7 to get Auto, then you use sub's math to calculate the aspect ratio. The 'Auto' doesn't automatically use these custom aspect ratios.

I also wrote a wiki page explaining how you might create your own set of numbers...
