Toshiba-S2-DVD crops letterbox movies with pyTivo

On an unrelated subject it was suggested that I change a setting to pyTivo:

optres: True

This was supposed to correct the letterbox crop problem. Unfortunatly, it had no effect. Tivo Desktop Plus does play letterbox movies correctly but only divx/xvid.

Hopefully someone else has found a sulotion to this problem.

p.s. I have two other Tivos (S2/S3) and pyTivo plays movies with no problems.

What version of pyTivo are you using? There might be an update in the git forks that has this fixed.

Did you try the aspect169 setting? Or hard-coding the height/width parameters in your per-TiVo section?

If I read things correctly I add this to pyTivo.conf:

[_tivo_*TiVo Service Number*]

aspect169 = False

Unfortunaly, the evil Tivo is at mom's house so I will try it soon.

I hate it when TiVos turn evil.
