I have a PC hooked to a 21:9 screen. Plex HTPC seems to run fine although the menu is in 19:9 aspect ratio. With the normal plex desktop player or plex media player (without tweeaking), when playing a wide screen ( 2.39:1) film encoded in a 16:9 aspect ratio video file with horizontal black bars t…

Edit : In fact the zoom mode set the panscan function that crop the video to fill the screen while retaining aspect ratio. With a 2.35 aspect ratio film it will nearly do the trick on a 21:9 screen. But if you want a more precise control or you have a film with an other aspect ratio that is not ne…

Hey there. Please can you post the full keyboard.json as I’m having trouble with the formatting. :man_facepalming:

Here is the full json file : { "name": "Generic Keyboard", "idmatcher": "Keyboard.*", "mapping": { "Left": "left", "Right": "right", "Up": "up", "Down": "down", "Return|Enter": { "short": "enter", "long": "menu" }, "Back|Esc|Backspace": { "short":…

Interesting. I can’t get Plex HTPC to respond to those commands. Nothing happens when I press the controls. EDIT: I’m just a moron and didn’t copy the file to the correct place.

Have noticed it will retain the same zoom level after closing and opening a new file. Would be good if it could reset to 0.

HTPC only resets values in MPV that it sets. However the mpv.conf file is re-read before each playback so you can likely set the properties to the default values you want in this file to accomplish what you want.

This is my current mpv.conf but it still doesn’t reset the video-zoom. vo=gpu hwdec=nvdec gpu-api=d3d11 gpu-context=d3d11 blend-subtitles=no keepaspect=yes monitoraspect=2.38 cache=yes stream-buffer-size=61.0352MiB demuxer-max-bytes=500000000 stretch-image-subs-to-screen=yes tls-ca-file=C:\Progra…

I think in MPV.conf the syntax is not the same. Try : video-zoom=0

[image] o_spring: "Ctrl\\+\\*" : "mpv:cycle-values video-zoom 0 0.0574502 0.4025857 0.4269356", Stupid Q: Did you compute these zoom factors or did you just try them out? I’m looking for good values for a 32:9 monitor.
