VLC changes aspect ratio instead of cropping properly #216

Open parandandrd opened 9 months ago

parandandrd commented 9 months ago

Using a fully updated RPi OS 64-bit system (running on a RPi 400) as of 2/20/24, it appears that VLC scales video when selecting a cropped aspect ratio rather than actually cropping it as expected. This worked normally a few weeks ago (sorry I can't be more specific).

Switching to a different renderer (other than "Wayland dmabuf video output") restores normal cropping behavior but of course has associated layout issues.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a video stream in VLC.
  2. Change "Video > Crop" to something other than the default aspect ratio for the video being played. (for example, crop a 16:9 video to 4:3)
  3. The video is scaled to the selected aspect ratio rather than being cropped as expected.

You are right! I'll fix it. I think I know where I must have broken it.
