two particular settings not "sticking"

I have had this issue for over a year now, but recently it is causing my tv to get burn in (touched on this in another thread, but wanted to make a seperate thread).

Two settings in particular do not stay selected. The "auto com skip:enabled" is one. No matter how many times I select enabled, the next tv show I play it goes back to disabled. I entered true in the .properties file and it seems to stick as long as I delete the .autobackup file.

The one that is really causing me fits is the "aspect ratio mode:source". I really need this to be set to "Fill" by default. I have set it to fill and it just gets set back to source on the next tv show I watch. My plasma is getting burned in from watching 4x3 mode on my 16x9 plasma and to combat the problem i just want it to fill by default.


I searched through the macaddress.properties file and even added an extra mode or two based on a thread I found but am not sure where to set the default mode.

The property is called default_advanced_aspect_ratio, and it is only for the HD100 extenders.

You can set it in the HD100's properties file & affect only that HD100, or you can set it in Sage.properties to make it apply to any HD100 that doesn't have it set in its own properties file.

This rocks, if I can get it working.

Do I just put the syntax "Fill" in there or is there something a little more complicated? Currently in my Sage.properties (I found this setting about half way down) but it says "Default_Advanced_aspect_ratio=" with no setting.

Yes, just use the name of the AR that you want to be the default.
