XBMC Aspect Ration on BH 2.1.5

Just start using my new Vu Solo2 as a media center and having troubles to get my films aspect ratio correctly on screen.
Will try to explain in a short text.
- If i put the A/V settings on 16:9 as Letterbox everything works well (on XBMC and Dreamplex). But after zapping some channels, my stb image changes automatically to Just Scale (and on the A/V Settings stills as Letterbox) and now everything on played on XBMC or Dreamplex are on wrong aspect.

So, is there anyway to force the media players (XBMC or Dreamplex) to play always the media on the correct aspect as he works on the beginning with the "Letterbox" A/V Setting but keeping the stb image scaled?

Will appreciate any guidance.
Happy Easter!

I'm using XBMC standard as he comes from the image. Believe the player is the original Media Player.

Give it a try MEDIAPLAYER2 --> Why?

With Key 5 --> On your remote control, you should be able to change the aspect ratio --> without modifying the ratio of your SAT/CABLE channels ( i suppose you use for that JUST SCALE on both AV Settings ).

How to --> Change Mediaplayer Classic ( Original Image ) ---> To Mediaplayer2 .

Test and reply

Many thanks nunigaia! Works great! Just had some problems on the refresh rate on the TV, resolved by disabling the motion plus on my Samsung.
Is there any way to force for aspect ration on the startup of MediaPlayer 2? This will save me to press several times the "5" key on every movie. ;)

Think that it´s not possible to do, cause it depends of the source of the video, there will sometimes, some source of videos you have, even if you change the aspect ratio, it does nothing!

thanks for your reply
