Having dug for a while to figure out how to get rid of the letterbox for widescreen movies on my 16:9 widescreen tv. I was all over the wiki and the forums looking at all of the items on aspect ratio, and eventually found this post where TvShape was mentioned. Once I set that - all of the movies and standard TV were suddenly the right way on auto select and there's no need to switch aspects via F7 (or the mapped button on the remote).

Shouldn't this be either:
A) Auto-detected by the config tool and set appropriately (when possible), especially for DVI/HDMI connections where this isn't the TV out.
or
B) A little pull down box in the config app right next to windowed/fullscreen?

Note that the post linked above is the only place in either the forum or wiki where this essential setting is mentioned.

There is no way that I know of to detect what shape a users TV is.

There is already setting in the config app to select the tv shape. I dont think its important enough to clutter up the front page of the config app. Most people will never touch this setting.

Indeed there is (now that I looked for it again) and for some reason I didn't see it before - was this a recent release? I searched the wiki and forums, and it wasn't listed on the wiki page for that configuration screen.

Thanks for the quick response, sub. Sorry for the trouble.

It was added when I added auto aspect control a few months back.
