720x576 aspect ratio problem

[DMD]

Has anyone checked whether this problem has been solved with the latest firmware 2.0.7?

Thank you

Checked today. It is not fixed with the 2.0.7 update.

Thank you for the confirmation.
I do not understand why they do not want to fix this bug.

It is in the 2.0.7 bug report for HiMedia.

Thank you for the confirmation.
I do not understand why they do not want to fix this bug.

Hope to fix in next firware update.
Maybe in 2.0.8 version? 

Otherwise can we do a downgrade?

What is the latest android 7 firmware version without this bug?

Many thanks

Many thanks, this trick is a very good idea!

Good morning
I would like to upgrade to FWC 2.0.8, and ask if the patch (http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=2576.msg21706#msg21706)
still works on this version. 

Thank you

Good morning
Also in version 2.1.4 the problem remains, in particular I was noticing that even the aspect ratio 4/3 is slightly distorted.
I enclose video, made with smartphone, sorry for the cormatic quality.

So you say that 4:3 aspect distorsion is new with 2.1.4 and wasn't present earlier? I'ts essential for me, I have many PAL 4:3 videos and DVD's...

[DMD]

It was also present previously, but the problem of the 16: 9 pal aspect ratio was not present to the 2.0.4 firmware from which I updated to 2.1.4

Note the difference between a 4: 3 @ 720x576 and a 4: 3 @ 1280x720 (upscaled)
In the Upscaled (1280x720) the correct aspect ratio is maintained

In my opinion the HiMedia firmware recognizes the 720x576 format as a proportion of 1.25 and not 1.34.
However, in the 720x576 (1.25) or 720x480 (1.5) format there is distortion in the aspect ratio.

From where did you get these test patterns? I will want to have a run on 2.1.1.

@DMD

Are not HiMedia FW witch read SAR from file.
Old player from v2.0.4 is was just more convenient playing all 720x576 as default in full screen(16:9).

Sorry if I answer you in this hour, I work shifts.
I send you the various Pattern Test files, so you can verify the correct aspect ratio.

Thanks. I've tested the two 4:3 pattern on PC with MPCHC and get the same visual result as on your video:

The first is the Pattern Test 4.3 1280x720 upscaled 25 fps.mp4 and the second is the Pattern Test 4.3 720x576 25 fps.mkv:

I can see a slight vertical distorsion in the 720x576 video, wheres the circle not perfectly round, rather a bit squeezed. So i must guess the video is being this way and not the fault of the player? Have you tried with other players/Boxes or with PC?
