Hello, Do you know how to stop Posterwall from switching to 16:9 format during the playback of a movie trailer when the compression mode (GUI) is used with the 2.35:1 format ? I can't find a setting for this. Its annoying that Posterwall keeps going back to 16:9 and after the trailer finishes it goes back to the compressed GUI mode... Thanks in advanced OlivierQC
I assume that this could be because Zidoo uses a different player for trailers (DVD player as of latest firmware, instead of the old Nuplayer, I believe) as opposed to the GUI and actual movies using the Zidoo player??
Not sure what you mean - that doesn't happen here - when playing a trailer, everything stays compressed in the 2.35:1 frame. This happens in both compression modes because they both affect the GUI.
Here is the video, See at the 35th second and at 1 minute and 34 seconds https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t3zmKZorZL6uWhNrmqmWQhlmCVI_OU1n/view?usp=share_link Can you explain me what is wrong ? Thanks in advance
That must be the TV doing that - the Zidoo doesn't behave like that... Some kind of auto aspect ratio thing maybe?
I made this video to show what happens to a user who has this problem although he has a projector with a 2.35:1 projection screen. If I understand correctly, you also have a 2.35:1 screen and you have no problems? Do your options correspond to the one visible at the beginning of my video? Thanks in advance
I have a multi aspect screen so no need to use compression but I tested it yesterday and it didn’t do that! Yes, options are the same.
Ok thanks, I will suggest to the person if he wants to come and participate in this forum to talk about his problem. ----------- Stupid question, Could it be that you use local trailers and I use online trailers or does it have nothing to do with that ?
Hi, I'm the user with the issue. I was able to watch your video and what you showing was exactly what I don't want to happen. Once the trailer starts/auto plays, the poster wall stretches. This takes my picture out of the 2:35.1 and makes it stretch. Is this something I can stop. Also I started using local trailers because the other ones don't play. It just says trailer is not available. Is there a way to get the regular trailers to work as well? I'm using the zidoo pro 1000. Thanks in advance to everyone who helped .
In the video he posted, this is exactly what happens to me and I am using a screen not a TV. I don't want the zidoo to do that.
As I say, that doesn't happen here so I think it's some auto aspect thing triggering in the display when video plays, not the Zidoo, otherwise mine would do it too. https://streamable.com/jx357z
The only relevant setting is the Screen Ratio setting - nothing else would have a bearing. I tend to use the settings in the Recommended settings thread, but I change things a lot for testing.
