Version: 1.0-svn3 (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Kaffeine in 3.5 supported several aspect ratios. Now we are down to only 2? What about videos that do not fit into either 4:3 or 16:9? Please enable other options too.
in 99.xxx% of the cases you choose "automatic" and everything is ok. the other entries are there to be able to watch movies which signal a -wrong- aspect ratio (so the option is only a temporary fix-up and doesn't need too many entries)
Since the option to set a predefined aspect ratio is already present, I really think that giving more choices would be a good idea. Standard sizes like 1.85:1 and 2.35:1 (and/or 2.39:1) would be very welcome. To my experience, there is actually a much higher proportion of videos with the wrong aspect ratio that you seem to think.
This bug is too old, for a version < 1.3. Closing it, as the latest version is 2.0.1, and lots of things changed since version 1.2.x, including the usage of VLC as video display backend, support for DVB-T2 and ISDB-T via libVLC, etc. You may check on the upstream version and see if the bug was solved. The README file contains instructions about how to compile it. You can find it at our git repository: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kaffeine.git If you find similar issues with version 2.0.1, please re-open.
