Live TV Aspect Ratio Options

Hi all,

I've noticed that I cannot get the correct aspect ratio on my Samsung S21 Ultra which has a 20:9 ratio. 

In Auto, I get the following. That is, 16:9 squashed into 4:3

On cover, 16:9 is stretched to 20:9 (as expected)

On fill, well this works too.

Is there anything that can be done about this please? Thanks :)

Hi, so it's just auto that's a problem?

Yes it would seem so. I just wanted to show that the others are working fine :) Although I have no intention of using them, it's just Auto I need.

Just thought I'd add to this, I've since tried using the PVR element, which while it works well, the recordings are also subjected to this squashed view!

Hi Luke

I can provide a sample test if you like - but I have to confess I'm not sure it will reveal anything since the issue is only with live streaming or recording playback on my phone. If I view the recordings on my PC they are as expected. Here's a recording of a movie from HDHR. The top is the playback on my S21Ultra, the bottom is the same recording on my PC (Emby Theatre).

Some observations/conditions that this occurs:

  • It only happens with 16:9 content
  • It only seems to trigger on SD streams

Sadly the majority of the stuff you get FTA on UK terrestrial is both SD and 16:9 so it's affects quite a lot.

Samsung S21 Ultra it's as if it's forcing 16:9 into 4:3.

I've attached a small sample recording - Morocco to Timbuktu An Arabian Adventure S01E01 Episode One.ts - for you to test. As you'll see on a PC it's fine

But if you can try playing the file back on Emby Android it looks like this (this is a screenshot from my S21 anyway!)

Thanks. Have you tried with the new 3.1.80 release?

Hi Luke

Yes I have, I'm afraid to say it's the same on 3.1.80.
