Aspect Ratio on playback

[AndrewB]

Hi all,

Am new to GB PVR. Have installed the software and have run it for a few days. Use it for watching digital TV and watching DIVX movies. I like what I see.

How do I set the aspect ratio of the playback? The vision is stetched to fill the 4:3 ratio, where it naturally should be 16:9. How can I influence the aspect ratio? I look forward to learned replies!

Cheers Andrew

You can press the F7 key to toggle aspect ratios.

Thank you very much. That solved it. I missed that when searching the wiki. Question closed.

what if you dont have a keyboard attached to the machine ? - i have a hauppauge pvr 150 with remote is there a button on that i can use. ?

There isnt a remote button mapped to this by default, but there is nothing to stop you adding a button mapping for this to the irremote.ini file.

i hate to sound like a newb but where do i find the file and how do you map the button ?

thanks

it is in the windows directory.

on my remote i have mapped the 'mute' button to F7 (i mute the sound on my 6.1 decoder so i don't need that button on the remote).
so i looked for the 'GB-PVR'-section in the file and edited the mute-button entry to look like this:
MUTE={f7}

ok found the file and can see a lot of entries in there but would like to keep the mute button - i see the # button isnt mapped - is it just a case of putting #={f7} in the ini file or is that button mapped with a different name ?

I think the hash and star keys are named a bit differently in the ini file (I think the * key may be used in GBPVR, but the # key is free) - * is called TEXT and # is called SUBCC in irremote.ini

cheers,
