Hi, after being satisfied with XBMP for quite awhile i decided it was time that i need to upgrade my media player due to it stuffing up for the first time yesterday. The problem was a different movie to the one i clicked on would suddenly play. Anyone know how to fix this? If not, doesn't matter XBMC looks very pretty anyway
But i want to know how can u change the settings of XBMC so that i can play movies in widescreen as my TV is 16:9 aspect

Firstly, I never played movies on xbox with xbmc yet, since I installed it yesterday. However, it wouldn't show up at all on my monitor unless I put it to 16:9 mode, which you need a skin that supports it.

If the movies don't play right, there is a stretch option in the video settings. If that doesn't work, you can change the aspect ratio manually in video settings.

Also, try pressing the start button during movie play, it adjust the various video settings.

K thanx for that!
Will try
Btw the movies play fine, i just watched Honey last night (*droolz Jessica Alba *droolz)

But u know the black lines at the top and bottom of the screen? Well for me those are unusually larger than they would normally appear on a standard DVD player.
