720p Movies that are listed as 576p by Plex

Movies with these specs are showing up by plex as 576p, yet - I know they are 720p

Resolution:1248x520
Aspect ratio:2.40:1

How is this resolved or what do I need to submit to fix this?

Edit: This is actually a 3 year old problem

Where’s the ticket to fix this?

It was 720p when it was 1280x720! But back then it was 2.4:1 content matted into a 16:9 frame. It was carrying around a bunch of dead pixels!

Then it got a shave and a haircut and its legs cut off. The letterboxing bars were removed. And some garbage pixels on the edges cropped off.

Now it’s … something else. Is it still a coupe if it has 4 doors? Is it a “Turbo” if it’s just a fast Porsche? What the heck is a jumbo shrimp?

It’s confused. No identity.

I DO understand. I’m just being silly. 720p is “wrong”, but it’s useful. It’s the same quality that 720p video would be. Vs. 576p, which is wrong in a useless way.

Mostly I just wanted to complain about “Turbo” on electric Porsches.

I’ve solved this myself by upgrading my movies to 1080p, and always ignoring resolution for TV.
