AndrewLe 3 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) I'm trying to fit the movie to the full screen, without black bars. Using Mi Box S with the latest firmware (Android 9.0) Emby's built-in player doesn't scale the movies properly - proportions are distorted. Other players behave the same if hardware acceleration is turned on. Once the hardware acceleration is turned off, zooming/scaling is fine. Is it possible to configure how the video is rendered (using hardware/opengl/surface etc. or not - like VLC or nPlayer does)?

Luke 37251 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hi there, what version of the Emby app are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14959 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hi. What exactly happens when you use our zoom feature in the app? Can you show a picture? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewLe 3 Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hi erb, Using Zoom the movie just scaling vertically. I'm sure tha this is something wrong with Mi Box S firmware (I have 3 boxes - the same). Other playes fix that turing off hardware rendering / acceleration.

ebr 14959 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 So the "zoom" option and the "vertical stretch" option do the same thing? Can I ask why you are wanting to crop off part of the image...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewLe 3 Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Yes, Zoom and Vertical Stretch do the same. Usually, far left and right parts of the movie are not so important and doesn't have significant details, so I prefer to sacrifice them in favour of the bigger picture Edited December 21, 2020 by AndrewLe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewLe 3 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi guys, I'm so tired using external app (VLC) to play the movies - because of: If I pause the video and screensaver turns on - the progress is reset It asks to mark watched or not every time It turns on the subtitles every time Any updates on the software rendering in the natve player? Share the sources - I'll do it by myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I cannot say exactly when we'd be able to investigate this specific thing further. Does your display not have zoom options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewLe 3 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Unfortunately, no - it doesn't have autozoom. Does nvidia shield / pro have such an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewLe 3 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 I've workarounded this issue - downgraded Mi Box S to Android 8.1 (you need USB A male - USB A male cable for this, Amlogic USB burning tool and two special recovery images). So this thread can be closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
