When Plexing in a home theater with a 2.35:1 (21:9) screen and an anamorphic lens on your projector that removes the top and bottom letterbox from movies – think 16:9 screen clipped via lens… the Plex UI itself is clipped as well and hard to use/navigate. See: https://www.panamorph.com/ It would be…

Wow, back in 2015 and 0 votes? I think this topic needs to be re-visited.

You have a constant-height projection setup, but you’re using a CCwGTV? (I’m not scolding, I’m just amused. Technology is hilarious.) Obviously I agree with @tom80H about the single feature suggestion thread, but I have a question - Don’t those Panamorph lenses stretch-and-squish the image? I tho…

The 21:9 movie is played in 16:9 with top and bottom letterboxed via AndroidTV through the projector. When you put the projector in V-Stretch mode, the projector is accounting for the panamorphic lens being attached and it crops off the top and bottom black bars, in a sense, stretching vertically th…

Adding another computer (HTPC) to my network just to stream some Plex content? And I have to control it with a mouse? What a farce. The whole idea/usefulness of CCwGTV is the ease of control with the remote. Sounds like a two steps backwards solution.

You don’t/can’t use a mouse with Plex HTPC. Some people use mini keyboards but that seems tacky to me. I’d use a remote or would control it from the Plex app on a phone/tablet. It’s unlikely Plex will implement a 21:9-in-16:9 underscanned UI option on a $40 player. I’m not opposed, and the CCwGTV i…

Clever wording you’ve devised for this FR! Thank you! Changed the topic line. I wasn’t aware Plex HTPC was remotely phone controllable. I will have to test it out now for sure… flash Ubuntu on an old laptop or something. From my first glance at HTPC, it looked to me like I had to program against a…

You could be my first vote! lol

Why are YOU not your first vote lol?

Feature Suggestions

There’s already an existing feature suggestion asking for an option to get a 2.35:1 or 2.40:1 aspect ratio for the app itself for projector based setups. Despite that other suggestion being quite dated, please comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.
