ThePaladinTech 22 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I am not sure if this is a server or client request It would would be great if there was a zoom option for SD recordings that made it fill the screen on HD / 4K tvs. If it's client related - I am a roku user 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 858 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Do you want it to stretch the video so everyone looks fat, or just chop the top and bottom off so everyone is walking around with no head or feet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14958 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Hi. We have this ability in most of the apps. Unfortunately, though, Roku doesn't give us much control over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladTepz 46 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 +1 for an Auto "Non-linear stretch" option Quote Will stretch the video to fill a 16x9 display when using 4:3 video WITHOUT disturbing aspect ratio Kodi has had this feature for a few years now and is one of the "small" features I miss from it.

"WITHOUT disturbing aspect ratio" The quote was taken directly from the Kodi Wiki, and while I agree it sounds misleading, I believe it's technically true. __________ Normal, or Linear Stretch, stretches the entire content to fit the display, disturbing its entire aspect ratio & makes everything look noticeably distorted. Quote stretch the video so everyone looks fat, or just chop the top and bottom off so everyone is walking around with no head or feet? __________ Non-linear Stretch only stretches portions of the sides of the content to fit the display. It maintains a majority of the contents center portion to its 4:3 aspect ratio without any stretching, chopping, or disturbing the centers portions aspect ratio. This results in much less distortion, (only portions of the sides), and is, in most cases, unnoticeable since in most content, the focus points are typically in the center of the content, where there is no stretching/distorting. __________ Take this example image below: Original 4:3 aspect ratio 4:3 with Normal/Linear Stretch 4:3 with Non-linear Stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 858 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 "Less distortion" and "no distortion" are not synonyms. You can't change the aspect ratio without altering the aspect ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
