I guess I can live with this but it seems weird - there must be some logic behind it deciding not to frame these - I have even set my orig frame to be 4:3 to see if that forces it but to no avail.
For the server, no matter the content of media resources (i.e. TV shows), but its work may depend on it file type.
Thats weird then - the file types are all AVI regardless of the aspect ratio
If the padding value from all sides equal 0, WMS really does not add a frame border. This can not be changed for the Movies (primary), but you can change transcoding profile Movies (additional) - Settings - Transcoder - Profiles - Movies (additional) - Edit

Code: Select all

        if (iPadLeft > 0) or (iPadRight > 0) or (iPadTop > 0) or (iPadBottom > 0) then begin
          sParams := sParams + Format(' -padleft %d -padright %d -padtop %d -padbottom %d -padcolor %s',
                      [iPadLeft, iPadRight, iPadTop, iPadBottom, WmsConvertColor(cfgTranscodingPadColor)]);
          if cfgTranscodingFrameExists then
            sParams := sParams + cfgTranscodingFrameParams;
          Inc(iFrameWidth,  iPadLeft + iPadRight);
          Inc(iFrameHeight, iPadTop + iPadBottom);
        end
replace on

Code: Select all

        if (iPadLeft > 0) or (iPadRight > 0) or (iPadTop > 0) or (iPadBottom > 0) then begin
          sParams := sParams + Format(' -padleft %d -padright %d -padtop %d -padbottom %d -padcolor %s',
                      [iPadLeft, iPadRight, iPadTop, iPadBottom, WmsConvertColor(cfgTranscodingPadColor)]);
          Inc(iFrameWidth,  iPadLeft + iPadRight);
          Inc(iFrameHeight, iPadTop + iPadBottom);
        end;        
        if cfgTranscodingFrameExists then
          sParams := sParams + cfgTranscodingFrameParams;

Thanks Eugene

I have made that change in Movies (additional) and selected that Transcoder Profile and tested again - exactly the same I am afraid - my 16:9 files have no padding but others do.

1. Select problematic file in list.
2. Settings-Transcoder-Profiles-Movies (additional) - Edit - click green button Check.
3. What transcoding parameters ? (on right click mouse "Copy to clipboard")

Result: -i "<INPUT FILE>" -f dvd -vcodec mpeg2video -b 8000000 -aspect 16:9 -copyts -pix_fmt yuv420p -acodec ac3 -ab 448000 -ar 48000

By stepping through the script I can see where it is failing - its at if (iWidth > 0) and (iHeight > 0) then begin - at that point the if is false for some reason so it misses that whole chunk of code out! (ran it through with one that works and that section is triggered by the if statement).

No real diff between one that works and one that doesnt (apart from the obv)

Working

On step

Code: Select all

if (iWidth > 0) and (iHeight > 0) then begin
You can see the value of variables iWidth, iHeight. Button with calculator image.

This is crazy - I just used the calculator and it correctly shows the correct Width and Height and guess what! It all starts working AOK!!! I have made no changes at all since it wasn't working yesterday - maybe exposing the properties has forced them to work? I am gonna try again getting on I havent forced the properties load and see what happens.

Bingo yes - if you dont load file properties prior to playing it doesnt work - if you do then it does!
