Samsung F series - Thumbnail aspect ratios

Gents,

I currently source movie covers in a 200x300 px size - ie it looks like the cover of a DVD case.

When these covers get sent to my Samsung F series, the images get resized (i'm guessing to 640x480) resulting in an incorrect aspect ratio on the screen

Is there a way that we can get the thumbs retain the correct aspect ratio when Mezzmo collects them for its database? Eg could it perhaps resize them to the maximum height (300->480) and then add black/transparent bars on the sides of the image?

Edit: Also, does the F series support going straight to the video folder, without having to display pictures/music/videos folders, if the video option is selected on the TV?

We have just fixed the Samsung artwork aspect ratio problem and the fix will be included in the upcoming release (that is planned to be released next week). If you wish to try it now, you can email us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com for a patch.

Thanks, Paul.
