DVBViewer reset aspect ratio

[AndersB]

DVBViewer has been running flawlessly in my system for months but suddenly (no upgrade, no configuration change) the aspect ratio has started to be reset frequently. This occurs when I change channel or when there is a program change on the current channel, for example when a program starts after a commercial break. It doesn't happen always but often enough. It it's regardless of channel and I've upgraded to 3.8.0 in the course of this but the problem persists.

I have aspect ratio = none chosen and when this aspect change occurs, DVBViewer reset the aspect ratio back to 16:9 it seems because it introduces black bars on top and bottom. To reset it back to correct ratio I just have to change zoom level once - then it reset back. When I check the aspect ratio it is still set to none.

I've tried to enable/disable the 'Video format detection' but no change.

 

Any clues on why this happens?

Just a wild guess:

 

I had similar issues a few months ago after I installed one of the beta versions. I my case, the program added info files in the recording folder, regardless of whether I checked or unchecked the option to add information. Individual channel volume wasn't saved, where it did in previous versions.

 

I changed the usermode setting in the UserMode.ini file (in the DVBViewer root folder) and since then everything is as it is supposed to be. I think I changed UserMode to 0, but you'll have to try for yourself.

 

Hope this works for you.

UserMode? What is that?

 

Anyhow, thanks Bert - I will definitely try that. I'll post back with the results...

I changed the usermode from 2 to 0 which means that DVBViewer is using the program installation directory for configuration store. After moving the required configuration from the old store it actually seemed to have helped.
