Title: MCWS: read movie "aspect ratio"
Post by: Olombo on April 05, 2022, 01:21:52 am

Hi,

I use a projector with electric screen masking. Would like to automize according to given movie aspect ratio. If MadVR is used zoom control enables to stretch/crop/... the image based on detected black bars.

-->Is there any possibility to get the status of showed movie image height? It may be in pixels count (e.g.4096x2160) / aspect ratio (e.g. 2,35:1). Getting this info would make a automization possible.

You are likely better off asking on doom9 or the madvr support thread on avsforum as I think this is something madvr would have to tell you

Madvr does have the facility to execute on profile enable/disable so this could work (using profile group that reacts to AR changes) though not sure if that works entirely reliably. Anyway I would be fairly confident someone on the AVS thread has done this so I would ask there.

Hi

thanks for the hint! I just figured out how to realize it. In MadVR you can set up profiles according to e.g. aspect ratio. Within them you can execute a command line if chosen. Works perfectly!
