Great script.  However, I do not get any sound when playing the films.  Sound works fine in the menus.  Also, could you make this for 16:9?  Most of the other scripts automatically resize the picture for 16:9 the studentfilms script shows the menu in the upper left hand corner of the screen.  The movies play fine except with no sound.

Sound played fine for me.

Do you have the quicktime codecs properly installed?

Check pinned topics.

it is not a great script: you are complaining, go fool someone else  

the sound issue I cannot fix, must be your XBMC build, or missing codecs.

The 16x9 should work as well, as I tested it here, however I use PAL (which has more pixels), I would expect that it should showup larger.

I guess that it does not look like the screenshot above ?

Ok, after a couple of reboots the sound started working.  The screen size for the menu work in 480p, but does not resize right for 720p or 1080i.  Like I said before it only takes up the upper left corner of the screen.  Everything shows up it just smaller.Here's a screenshot

I can't see your screenshot (local network IP). It won't resize indeed. That will be next problem for me is that I cannot test those resolutions very well, unless someone can point me in the right direction.

Sorry about the link try this Screenshot

For comparison here's a screenshot of Ooba Ooba Screenshot

Both were taken in 720p

Could this have something to do with the Studentfilms script not resizing?  This is part of Python file from Ooba.  I'm no expert in Python but this part looks like it is used to stretch the image.

#---------- SetUpControls ------------
      self.player = xbmc.Player()
            
      #PAL/NTSC Support:
      w=self.getWidth()
      h=self.getHeight()
      #Ratio - positions are then used given as percent
      self.xratio=float(w/100.0)
      self.yratio=float(h/100.0)

      self.asp=w/float(h*AspectRatio) #used for stretching images

      try:
         self.bg = xbmcgui.ControlImage(0,0,w,h, 'background.png')
         self.addControl(self.bg)
      except:
         print('No background.png')
      self.panel = xbmcgui.ControlImage(0,0,w,h, ScriptPath+'panel.png')
      self.addControl(self.panel)
   
      self.title = xbmcgui.ControlFadeLabel(int(self.xratio*guiTitlePos[0]),int(self.yratio*guiTitlePos[1]),int(self.xratio*guiTitlePos[2]),int(self.yratio*guiTitlePos[3]), 'font18','0xFFFFFFFF')
      self.addControl(self.title)

      self.textbox = xbmcgui.ControlTextBox(int(self.xratio*guiMenuPos[0]),int(self.yratio*guiMenuPos[1]),int(self.xratio*guiMenuPos[2]),int(self.yratio*guiMenuPos[3]), 'font14', '0xFFFFFFFF')

      self.image = None
      self.set_viewstate(MENUSTATE)

Indeed it takes care of resizing the background, and there are some more things in there for positioning, this does not cover to resize the display on the left though.
I am looking into it.

I have added widescreen support to the script.

Let me know if it shows up ok or not. (screenshots are always nice to see)
