Description Christian Lohmaier 2015-08-10 15:20:34 CEST

Description of problem:
use video player like mpv that sets the aspect-ratio hint and notice that mutter makes the window too small in height/too wide in width, resulting in black bars at the sides of the video.

100% reproducible, see also the upstream bug for more details.

upstream has a patch (also linked in the upstream bug) that applies cleanly to 3.14 and fixes the problem for me:

That was so long ago. the patch must have been included in Mageia 6.

Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/
It only continued to get important security updates since then, but non-security bugs have no chance of still getting fixed.

Closing as OLD.
