Have you looked at the plugin options?

Use original art aspect ratio

By default, CoverArt will fit the original artwork into the shape of the particular treatment that is chosen. Enabling this will instead make it more closely fit the final image to the shape of the original artwork.

yes Of course，

Whether I check this option or not, the poster is always deformed, and I'm sure it's a program problem with the plug-in itself。

Hi.  Not necessarily.  The UI may be imposing a particular shape.  If you look in your image cache for those enhanced images, do the actual image files contain that distortion?

yes  you're right , I checked the cache image，the actual image file is right.

but in emby, Either in Web, android, Or TV, it shows the distortion.

Is there a solution?

What app is that?

I'm pretty sure that Android TV, Fire TV and Roku will not distort these in the detail screen.  However, in some presentations, we do choose to fill the frame if the image is "very close" to the target shape because this produces uniform images when people have a bunch of ones that are slightly different aspect ratios.  This looks much better than displaying the odd shaped ones next to each other.

Hi.  Yes, none of those are the apps I mentioned but the slight distortion you are seeing is for the reason I mentioned previously:

like this？

We've found that a very slight distortion is preferable to a crop.  In your example, you are cropping the bottom because you know that is the "most expendable" part of the image.  That may not always be the case so the other option is to crop all the way around the image which, in your example, would cut off part of the label on the top created by CoverArt.
