LaunchBox 13.23 - Beta Thread

Sorry but I got another gripe with FFmpeg.

FFmpeg just like WMP messes up the videos "width". Only the "width", height is not impacted. I put "width" in quotes because it's not really width. As in it's not taking for ex a 1920 pixel wide video and making it 1930 pixels wide. The width of the video would still be 1920 pixels, but, the contents of the video get stretched out wider when using FFmpeg just like it always has with WMP. 

VLC did not do this this by comparison. It always has been more difficult to identify this occurring with WMP due to videos have a black screen blip and reset when returning to platform wheel, but it's always been there in previous version of the frontend using WMP too. still there on latest 13.24 beta 1

Here is a video for reference. For easiest way to see what I am talking about is to pay attention to the outer edges of the N64 controller on the left, where it is exactly when I am in the N64 game wheel. Like place your mouse cursor there for a good visual indicator. Then notice when I back out to the platform wheel it suddenly looks like the entire image stretches out width wise. Watch in fullscreen to make it easier to see too. 

This is not theme specific, but unless you have some sort of theme setup like what I am using here it would go unnoticed. For someone who wants a nice seamless transition between wheels where it looks like only part of the view updates when you back out to previous wheel, this is jarring and ugly to see.
