Totem plays all videos at wrong aspect ratio on dual-rotated-monitor configuration
Last modified: 2015-12-04 10:55:05 UTC
I have two monitors rotated to portrait orientation - 1080x1920 - in a side-by-side configuration, with totem-3.14.1-1.fc22.x86_64 on Fedora Rawhide. Any time I play a video - seemingly any video - totem displays it at the wrong aspect ratio, both windowed and full screen. I started it up playing a video with a native resolution of 960x540, resized the window until there were no black bars visible, took a screenshot, and measured the transparent area in GIMP; obviously this is a bit prone to error, but it's fairly close. The playback area looks to be ~1151x1077, a ratio of ~1.07 . 960/540 is 1.7 recurring. xrandr -q output: [adamw@adam Videos]$ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2160 x 1926, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI-I-2 connected primary 1080x1920+0+0 left (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 475mm x 267mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1152x864 75.00 1024x768 75.08 60.00 800x600 75.00 60.32 640x480 75.00 60.00 720x400 70.08 DVI-I-1 connected 1080x1920+1080+6 left (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 475mm x 267mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1152x864 75.00 1024x768 75.08 60.00 800x600 75.00 60.32 640x480 75.00 60.00 720x400 70.08
I'm pretty sure this changed between F21 and F22, FWIW - I can't easily check as I don't have an F21 install on the same box, but I'm pretty sure I played videos with F21 when I had it installed and didn't notice this. There's no anamorphic stuff going on with the test video, for the record - mplayer reports its aspect ratio as 1.78:1 and 'prescales' it from 960x540 to...960x540.
