Ok, so I’ve notices 480p 4x3 videos are now being jammed to the right side of the screen if you pause/tab out of the player. Im watching 1979 4x3 capitan america and it plays fine with the black bars in the right place but if i pause it and minimize or tab out then go back to the latest plex player…

Plex Desktop version? Does the problem occur with all 4:3 media or just Captain America? I’m using 1.79.1.3984 and my 4:3 videos play OK. I can pause & minimize or Alt-Tab to another window and the video is still correct when I return & resume playback. Hoping to replicate to try and figure out …

all 4x3 pure unupscaled video. if i pause it or minimize it or close it and restart plex, it slams the 4x3 to the right side and puts both black bars to the left, I’m using a 4090 BTW with win 10 and i never had a problem til the late august-september server/player updates Search is still messed …

What kind of graphics hardware is in your computer? What is the “Video Playback Quality” selector set to? What is your native screen resolution? Did you enable text resizing in Windows’ display settings? Have you ever modified the mpv.conf file manually?

Adding to the above and cross posting for @Commodore1581 To disable automatic updates on the Desktop app open %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex\plex.ini Find the [debug] section - add one if one does not exist Add disableUpdater=true directly under the [debug] header Save your changes
