kron0s 9 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Before you ask me why don't I use Auto Aspect Ratio, the reason is because the video I'm watchin has black bars embedded into the video and with a 21:9 ultrawide, this makes it look like all 4 sides are surrounded by black bars. Before the latest update this was working, when I chose Cover usually, it would just zoom in the video. With the current update, the aspect ratio is wrong when I chose this option. See attached. Funny thing is when I click the settings button, the aspect ratio is temporarily "fixed" until the option pop up disappears, this is also attached. Issue is in both Chrome and Edge browsers, so I don't think it's browser specific.

Luke 37113 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hi, cover will crop without altering the aspect ratio. Fill will stretch and may distort the video. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kron0s 9 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Luke said: Yes please, thanks. Ok see attached. Please note, that this only happens when the video is in "Full Screen" Mode (Square Icon button all to the way to the right of the buttons). When it's in "Windowed Mode" this behavior is not observed and everything is working as expected Please note, emby-logs.txt Edited March 2, 2021 by kron0s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kron0s 9 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 did some testing, seems like this behavior happens in chrome and edge, but looks good in firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37113 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 In your log example it is direct playing so there might not be much we can do about this. We're relying on a function in the browser to handle the aspect ratio adjustment for us, and it's probably having difficulty with this specific video. I know it works just fine in my testing.

Yeah, slim to none on the browsers fixing this issue. I'll use Firefox as a workaround. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kron0s 9 Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 Did more research and figured this out this is a bug in Chrome and Edge - You can fix it by going into the flags and setting #use-angle to D3D9 and this will fix it. Another solution is to use " the "Ultrawidify" add-on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
