crusher11 851 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have an x264 aac file that's 720x576 and flagged as 4:3, but it seems tall and skinny on playback. Looks fine in Emby Web, VLC, etc. I tested by putting a finger on the TV screen at the edge of the picture and then playing back something I knew was 4:3, and it played wider than where my finger was by an inch or so.

Luke 37064 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 If you lower the in app quality setting to force transcoding, how does that compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 That widens it out to where it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ok so what that means when direct playing is that the LG video player is not rendering it correctly. All we can really do is force transcoding to correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 But why is it not honoring the aspect ratio flag for this file, when it does for other files?

Luke 37064 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 This is something that is handled by the LG video player so I can't really answer that. I can report this to LG though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 If I'm going to have to re-encode this and any similar files, it'd be nice to know what I need to do differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Don't know how far you've gotten with this @crusher11 but maybe instead of doing re-encodes you could try just remuxing them. If that works you could "convert" your media rather quickly. Lots of tools that can help you try to remux the files but XMedia recode is a great program to use. https://www.xmedia-recode.de/ great program, lousy website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
