Video options not made effect by Kaffeine settings.

I'm use kaffeine 2.0.4-2.0.5 git and sad because i'm can not fill DVB channels (4:3) on fullscreen mode. Options "Aspect ratio" and "Automatic resize" not made anything.
Image size is cropped while in window mode and fullscreen mode by all 4 sides.

I'm using last ArchLinux distro and DVBSky drivers (media_build-bst-160430).

On Kaffeine 2.x, video display is provided via libVLC. Depending on the GPU you're using, and how it detects the best output driver, libVLC may not be enabling its scaler, because it would be too slow with your GPU/video driver.

There is an option on Kaffeine that will allow you to pass extra arguments to libVLC. Among the possible options, there's the "-V" parameter, with sets the video driver. You could try to use either GLX or XV video driver with:
	--no-video-title-show -V xcb_glx
or:
	--no-video-title-show -V xcb_xv
