sorry about that :-(

I spent some time on researching this issue for MediaBox, and eventually got it working quite reliable (sometimes a race condition messes this up, but very seldom).

When loading a video, mplayer will tell you about the width and height of the video before playing. Now compute the aspect ratio and send

Code:

  switch_ratio <ratio>

to mplayer. Also be quick to resize your display window to match the aspect ratio, or the aspect ratio will be messed up for the rest of the video.
