everything is letterboxed! (even vids that shouldn't)

[skinney6]

in order to switch to xbian completely and free the computer we currently use at a HTPC (which is my goal) we need a browser so my gf and housemate can stream tv shows from http://watchseries.lt/ and the like.
i probably just need a light wm, a browser and vlc.
xbian is cool. I like how it picks up where you left off in a video but without a browser i can't switch over to it.

Thanks for all your help.
Sorry if I wasted your time.
