I second that feature. I tried to map -aspect 4:3 and -aspect 16:9 to
remote control using LIRC but couldn't find a way to do that. Preferably
using one keypad, please, so maybe a rotating list of configured aspect
ratios as a parameter like

   config = aspect "4:3 16:9"

might be nice if someone wants different aspect ratios as well.

BTW, if the playlist contains several entries it might be nice to have a
way to display the name of the current entry on OSD somehow... like toggle
display on/off like 'o' does for times or to show it for a few seconds
after pressing 'info' button or something...?

I second that one too. :)
