Hi,

i have a 720x480 DVD rip in a MKV, which is supposed to be played back as 16:9 (well, close, its target is 850x480).
The library is on a library server, running 17.0.31

Now, when i play the file in different ways, i get different results:

- Played through a MC17 client connected to the library server, the AR is fine
- Played directly on the library server, the AR is wrong (its plain 720x480)
- Played through Gizmo, the AR is also wrong (seems to also be 720x480)

I don't really care what happens if i play it on the library server itself, because thats a headless system which i connect to with remote desktop (maybe thats causing the issue there, i don't know nor care)
But what is bugging me is the Gizmo AR issue, because everything looks odd.

Here is a short sample of such a file. The AR problem can be clearly seen on the Goldwyn Mayer logo (which is supposed to be round), or the Stargate, which is also round, and not an egg.

My Gizmo is the latest from market as of today. Not sure it has a version number somewhere.

Thanks for the sample file.  I don't think the video encoder is handling non-square pixels correctly.

I'll try to get it fixed soon.

Coming in 17.0.32:
Fixed: Videos that used non-square pixels would display with the incorrect aspect ratio when played using Gizmo on Android.

Thanks.

Confirmed, the fix works. Thanks!
