Hopefully I can explain this well.

I'm not sure why, but for a long time, when I transfered my shows to S2 (140), the files that were wide screen remained wide screen. In other words, i could keep my 16:9 TV set to standard and it would fill the screen. At some point, this changed (I believe it was when a software update hit the tivo). Now the files transfer with black bars embedded and I have to "expand" the picture to fill the whole screen.

I know something has changed as well, as I was never able to transfer files from the 140 that I have set to aspect169=true to my other tivo, (a 590) because the picture would be garbled. Now I can transfer them with no issue, which makes me think the aspect169=true is being ignored.

any help would be appreciated. You problebly want to know what release I'm running, but I'm not 100% sure. Is there a way to tell? I know I updated recently, so possibly 12-9 or 12-31.

Here is my config file (deleted some of the commented out stuff to keep it shorter):


Code:

[Server]
port=9032
#Full path to ffmpeg including filename
ffmpeg=c:\Program Files\pyTivo\plugins\video\ffmpeg_mp2.exe

#This will make a large debug.txt file in you base directory.  It only debugs
#transcode.py right now.
#debug=true

# Audio bit-rate, default 192K
audio_br=128K

# Video bit-rate, default 4096K
video_br=3072K

#Output Pixel Width: if you have an HDTV you might want to try 720 or 704
#Valid: 720, 704, 544, 480, 352
width=720


##Per tivo options
# section named _tivo_TSN with the tsn in all caps
#livingroom
[_tivo_140####...]

#If you want to use 16:9 or 4:3 on this tivo
aspect169=true

# section named _tivo_TSN with the tsn in all caps
[_tivo_590####...]
#If you want to use 16:9 or 4:3 on this tivo
aspect169=false

[MyVideo]
#Type can be either 'video' or 'music'
type=video

#Path is the full path to your files (No trailing slash needed)
#For windows: path=c:\videos
#For linux:   path=/media
path=d:\Video\TV

#Make all subfolders in to top level shares
auto_subshares= True
 


Thanks

No ideas why the 16x9 flag is being ignored? Any thing I should look for in the log file (once I enable debug)?

Thanks,
-Mike
