Roku and AV1 480P Displays 4x3 not 16x9 (NOT AN EMBY ISSUE)

[tedfroop 33]

For anyone ripping to 480P with AV1, your Roku may have an issue.  I tried the same video on PC and on the Android TV app and it displays 16X9 in both but on my  Roku Ultra it displays in a weird 4x3 format.

Again - not an Emby issue - just fair warning.

No problem.  Always nice to find a quick answer if you have an issue.

Further info....its not a Roku issue but normal function for Sony K85 TV's.....

IF you have Dolby Vision on, 720x480 sources display in a weird 4x4 format.  Designed so you can't have Dolby Vision on while playing DVD's apparently.  (but buying new Blu Rays will work just fine....)  

So I'm up-converting files to 1280x720.....
