** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-mplayer MPEG streams recorded from broadcast television using mythtv often have a changing aspect ratio. For example, the adverts may be in 16:9 and the actual program may be in 4:3. Since mythtv over-records, it is likely that playback starts during the adverts - in the wrong aspect ratio for the actual program. - gmplayer does not correctly handle aspect ratio changes when in + gnome-mplayer does not correctly handle aspect ratio changes when in fullscreen mode. The result depends on whether it is in fullscreen mode when the change occurs. - If gmplayer is in windowed mode when the aspect ratio changes, then the - window will resize to the correct aspect.
