Skybox F3 media player aspect ratio

[PsychicSandwich]

When I try to watch my downloaded movies through my skybox F3 the whole picture is stretched to fit the screen but when I watch the movie on my pc the picture has two black boxes below and above (which I prefer). I'm just wondering is there a way to make it so the picture on my skybox f3 is like what it is on my pc? Any help is gratefully appreciated!

the solution to your problem what i figured out is to go into setup menu then to tv system and change your aspect ratio from auto to 16:9 mate that sorts it' if you have a movie that is 23.976 fps which most downloaded movies are you might want to change your video resolution to either 1080i 60hz or 1080p/60hz if left on 50hz you will get bad judder with it being ntsc' you get the picture anyways bud hope this helps

glad i could help mate' i had the very same problem and it done my head in for ages then just off the bat i thought sack it try 16:9 and it worked' i only tend to use the media player for playing joined dvd vob files they play perfect' the media player is very basic on f3 but cant grumble for the price for what you get on it
