Crop or zoom roVideoScreen?

We've got a library of 4.3 content that we're creating a channel for.

A lot of it is 16.9 with black bars on the top and bottom.

Is it possible to zoom or crop the container as to show it full screen? VLC media player has this option...

I would like to create an additional button on my springboard (Play as 16.9) to achieve this. Currently my (Play) button creates a standard roVideoScreen.

Video content is wmv 700K video, 128K audio, hardware encoded with the digital-rapids encoding suite.

    Just a quick suggestion... You may want it to specific that it's cropped... such as "Zoom for 16:9" or something similar. If I saw "Play as 16:9", I'd assume it meant that there were 2 version of the video, a 4:3 and a 16:9.

    EngoTom--zoom capability seems like a useful feature. We don't have it yet, but I'll make a note to look into it when we get a chance.

    I was wondering if this made it into the current SDK?

    Thanks

    It did make it into the v2.6 SDK.

    Please check out the SetDestinationRect(roAssociativeArray rect) method on the roVideoScreen. It's documented in the v2.6 component reference doc.
