gray bars showing on video playback

[Luke 42077]

Can one of you provide a sample video for testing just so that i can ensure I'm looking at the exact same thing? Thanks.

I made a screen recording  on my Chromebook

In the recording you can see the letterbox bars are gray.  

When I minimize and restore the emby app window, the bars turn white.

Can you provide an actual video that we can test playing with? Thanks.

@LukeI sent you a link with an example video file that's producing the grey bars for me

@Luke

Here is an example file.  The Letterbox shading issue  seems to happen with any file format, but this one is AV1, and that format is the only one I have that fits the max file size for this forum.  

The AV1 video playback error referenced in my other thread  is also still happening.

Hi, are you still able to reproduce this?

The bars to the left and right appear to be darker than they were before, minimizing and maximizing the application turns the bars white.

emby for Android version 3.4.36

emby server 4.8.10.0 on Linux Mint.

Here is an example of what shows when I play a video.

after minimize and maximizing the window, the bars are white. as seen below.

OK we’ll try to track that down. Thanks.
