Description Adam Williamson 2015-01-29 21:41:22 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:

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.
