Hi there. I am using the Plex mobile app on Android 13 on a Google Pixel 7 Pro phone. My issue is that when i play videos there is no option to have the video fill the entire screen behind the notch. Instead i get a black bar down the left hand side where the notch is. In Netflix, Disney Plus and Amazon video the video fills the entire screen area, including behind the notch. Is there a way to enable this for Plex in the future? If not is there another method to make the app do this? I know Samsung phones give you options in settings to accomplish this but this does not seem to be an option on the Pixel 7 Pro. Hope someone can help with advice on this! Thanks!
