tvtime does not rebember matte settings

Oops, submited some gibberish downloaded by Epiphany instead of patch. This is the right one.

Hi again, is there any chance that this patch will be applied for the upcoming Ubuntu Jaunty? And if not, what are the reasons against it?

OK, no matte ponnies for You, Jaunty J. But: Patch EXISTS, solves the bug. I tried it, it WORKS. Can someone please review it, please? Is there some way how can I personally help more with this issue?

Thanks for any answer.

I changed title, because patch generally exist, but no exist IN THE PACKAGE. Tag "patch" added.

Is this still reproducible on Karmic?

I read wrong, the affected release is 1.0.1, avalable in Dapper.

Alessio, bug still exist in all versions.

Quoting report's descrioption:

"There is a patch already resolving this issue, ___reported as working___ with tvtime 1.0.2:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=506989&aid=1634306&group_id=64301"

What about the patch Alessio Treglia mentioned? I compiled tvtime with this patch and it works. Could we include it in Karmic?

Can someone refresh the patch? It does not apply any more:

this problem also have new Ubuntu (Lucid Lynx) version.... after the install, the setting directory created with root permission... is in my home directory... :/ not writable ...

:> sudo chmod -R (username) ./.tvtime
:> sudo chgrp -R (username) ./.tvtime

Intrepid Ibex reached end-of-life on 30 April 2010 so I am closing the
report. The bug has been fixed in newer releases of Ubuntu.

Can you please make this patch in a way that this behaviour is optional? I just reinstalled tvtime from ubuntu repositories (after using a self compiled version for some time) and now it's broken for me! There is still a lot of TV content which is 4:3, so I'd like to start with a default of 4:3 and only switch to 16:10 if needed i.e. I watch 16:9 content AND fullscreen. So if you think you have to change default behaviour, please at least provide a cmdline option (or whatever) to override this.

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. The version of Ubuntu referenced in this issue has reached end of life, and the issue is fixed in newer versions of Ubuntu.
