When changing the aspect ratio via context menu (for example to 4:3) the setting is not stored. Next time you open Kaffeine aspect ratio is set to automatic again (i believe) even none of the checkboxes in the context menu under 'video/aspect raio' is set.

Yes, right now, we don't store aspect ratio or video size. We also don't store other parameters that can be a personal preference for an specific video (or TV program), like subtitles. In the specific case of aspect ratio, I understand that some users may actually want to force it to a certain aspect ratio (for example, the ones with ultrawide monitors). I guess the best would be to add a command line parameter, allowing the user to force Kaffeine to start with an specific aspect ratio (just like what we do for full screen, minimal and always on top settings).
Git commit 995981b3d490cae7d26121a3aaffb116fb3e1a47 by Mauro Carvalho Chehab. Committed on 06/11/2018 at 20:30. Pushed by mauroc into branch 'master'. mainwindow: add an option to force an specific aspect ratio Usually, aspect ratio is something that the user changes as it wish, depending on the video source. However, users with wide monitors may opt to always force to a certain aspect ratio, in order to fit better on their screens. So, add a command line option to force it.
