2.0 regression: video output setting only applies to 1st file on playlist

In video preferences you have a video crop field, which I set to 16:9 to crop old TV formats to fit my screen. The crop setting applies on the first video played, but after it plays the rest in 4:3... and when I press 'C', it cycles next to 'default', then 16:10, and 16:9. Whenever I set it back to 16:9, it forgets this on the next file, despite my settings.

Arch Linux (-syu'ed as of 21-feb-12)

Works correctly on Linux, setting applied to all files in the playlist.

I cannot reproduce.

Still happenning here. It seems quite random. Obviously it only happens to videos in original 4:3. Whenever i click it displays my video in either 16:9, 16:10, or 4:3, but crop is still set to 'default' according to OSD which should 16:9.

Should i make a video recording of my desktop to prove it?

I made an ogv using recordmydesktop, tell me where to send it.

Still present in VLC 2.1 GIT

Now my crop setting doesn't apply most of the time, not even on first play.

Can someone at least confirm that this is a bug? two months of watching 4:3 on a wide screen is driving me insane.

I can confirm this problem. I am also waiting quite some time for this to be fixed. I also enterd "16:9" into the "Aspect Ratio" Fiel in the settings. But when playing a larger playlist the setting doesn't apply. I also noticed, that the list of choosable aspect ratios contains a second "16:9" entry after I put it into the settings. Note that I did not use the wrong field. The "Custom Aspect Ratio" field was empty. After I noticed that, I even tried to switch the field entries because I thought they might had accidently been mixed during the 2.0 update. But I had no effect.

Crop setting is lost when the video format changes. This is kinda expected... Otherwise, I cannot reproduce the problem.

I guess it's due to a race when recycling or not recycling an existing video output. Unfortunately, this is based on heuristics and intrinsically prone to race. Patch welcome.

still open with 2.0.5 (11 months later). What's wrong?
