Force Aspect Ratio in Smpalyer

[linuxyogi]

This won't make them all 16/9, but I think it will do for you. Go to Preference's, Advance, and in the space where it says "Run the following....." put aspect_none. That will make the video stretch to full screen. However, if you are watching from a video it does still change the size you need to turn off auto resize for that.

I know it is a bit late, but I saw this post while search for it myself, and thought who knows, maybe you havn't found a fix yet.

That's a great workaround. Tried that & it worked.

Thanks.

-aspect 16:9.

But sadly Smplayer is pretty useless for me as it fails to open files.

Read posts 1 -4. The later posts deal with a different issue which is now solved by installing mplayer2.
