Live TV: SD channels render incorrectly as 4:3

Server Version#: 1.18.2.2029
Player Version#: 7.24.3.13840

When Live TV plays 16:9 SD channels, they are rendered incorrectly at 4:3 on most of my clients. I’ve attached logs and screenshots for reference. HD channels render correctly at 16:9 on all clients.

See test results below.

Looking at the logs, I noticed that on the working device (my android tablet), “direct play” fails so the client switches to transcode. In this case, the content displays correctly at 16:9. Also, my Windows PMP client plays correctly at 16:9.

However my android devices that use “direct play” are squashed to 4:3 (see screenshots and logs). Please help!

Thanks, Elton.

Hmm. Also found these after more searching. Seems like its been happening for many years and no update from engineering with a solution.
