Ultrawide Support on Windows Plex App

Hey there,

Just wondering if there is any plan to release support for Ultrawide monitors? The app works fine and fills the screen, but videos that are 21:9 do not fill the screen on 21:9 monitors leaving black bars surrounding the image.

At the moment, I solve this by watching through plex-web in Firefox and using an extension called ‘Ultrawidify’. This usually works great, so obviously it is possible.

Thanks!

In Plex HTPC we support changing zoom during playback. It’s imperfect but can be helpful. We hadn’t chatted about bringing this Plex for Mac/Windows. I’ll file a feature request.

In PMP I have added this to Keyboard.json:

	// Zoom
	"Ctrl\\+\\+" : "host:player add video-zoom -0.25",
	"Ctrl\\+\\-" : "host:player add video-zoom 0.25",
	"Ctrl\\+\\*" : "host:player cycle-values video-zoom 0 0.0565835 0.392317 0.402586"

It allows cycle through different zoom to adapt to various video aspect ratio on a 21:9 screen… Does this trick could work in Plex for windows ?
