Firstly Plex Team, awesome work on the Xbox One App... looks and runs great... loving the voice commands... now only need to get it to respond to 'Jarvis', and my Iron Man helmet won't be for nothing :P
Now feature request... One the valuable features of the PHT app I've found is the ability to set the default playback of 4:3 content as stretched to 16:9...
I was greif stricken in my first real usage, after the initial play around with it, trying to watch Stargate SG1, and alas, it was box'd :( sad face...

Might happen, have no idea tbh.
But I really want to know this: Why on earth do you want to deform an image so much that it goes from 4:3 to 16:9? Just curious. Because it is not a small deformation. It is so much that it sometimes is hard to recognise an actor.

I like to think of it as the camera adding 40 pounds to them all.
I have to agree with Atrus. The desire to stretch 4:3 content is beyond my comprehension. Watch it the way it was intended to be watched! :). This is nearly as bad as someone raising and lowering the volume throughout a movie so that whispering is as loud as the car exploding and vice versa.
Most TVs can perform this sacrilegious choice already, it’s often called “zoom” and there are usually various degrees of deforming the picture you can choose. But as others, and my dismissive phrasing, have suggested this really doesn’t make very much sense. You are deforming an image in order to fill a space you don’t have to fill. Just pretend your TV is an old 4:3 box, ignore the bars on the side of the picture.
