[Q] Videos can be really small

So, for a frame of reference, my last Android device had a screen 5", but 800x480 resolution. The Nexus 5's resolution completely blows it away.
That said, I've noticed something with regard to videos being played using the default video player (I'm not even sure if it has a name). I tried watching some videos from the Engadget App (which, to the best of my knowledge, relies on the default video player to play videos), and to my surprise one of the videos was showing up about the size of a postage stamp. A different video showed up a little larger, but neither scaled up to the full space. I opened both videos up on my old Android and they ran full screen just fine.
My current guess is that the Nexus 5 has a higher screen resolution than the video it's trying to play back and it's playing the video at a 1:1 ratio. Any ideas on what might be able to fix this, or should I sit tight and wait for an update?

[Q] Does Android user interface support 4K UHD resolution?

I'm looking to develop an android app to be used on a 3840x2160 4K/UHD display using an Android miniPC that supposedly supports "4K resolution."
I have a few different Android miniPCs (all Android 4.4) and they all play 4K videos fine. Also, for all of them, the 3840x2160 resolution was selected in the Display settings in HDMI mode . However, when I display a UHD equivalent image using an image viewer, the image looks to be scaled up from a smaller size. When I download apps from the Google Play store that measures the resolution of the device, they all report that the device is displaying at 1080p.
I believe these 4K Android miniPC can decode 4K video, but the user interface is still being displayed at 1080p despite what is selected in the Display settings. There is an article from cnx-software that blames the type of processor for these types of devices not being able to support UHD resolution. (i would provide links, but unable to include them as a new forum user.)
Is it really the processor limiting the device? I find it hard to believe the processor can display 4K video, but unable to support a 4K user interface. So my question is, can Android support a user interface and an app at 3840x2160 resolution? If so what would it take to support it?
Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide.

I have Beelink R28 box and it has the same behavior. It seems that Android doesn't support UHD resolutions and wonder why there are no any information about this.

mx player 3D to 2D convert

I want to 3D to 2D converter feature.
It was translated by Google translate

You're going to have to provide more explanation than that.

hello there,
yes i am looking for a solution as well for playing 3D (SBS or OU) movies on 2D mode with mx player (android set top box)
i thing it would be nice if there would be a simple option to crop/zoom screen and align it to just one eye stream (either half part of the movie)
(i don't like vlc player)

You can just use pan & zoom functions to achieve the same. BTW, we are adding more controls to zoom function to individually control vertical or horizontal zoom. You may stretch the video as you wish by using the new zoom controls.

Understanding Aspect Ratio (for dummies)

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to show me how to adjust the aspect ratio.
Here are the specifics: I have a Samsung T350 tablet(rooted) and it has built in already the screen mirroring feature. Now, I also have an LG webOS UHDTV (48.5in diagonally). Now, if I send a video file directly to my TV from the tablet (using Quick Connect) aspect ratio adjust automatically. When using either my MX Player Pro or the built in player via screen mirroring (for streaming or simply for better navigation controls) the mirrored result on my TV is small and square looking. I'm certain there is a setting that I can avail myself of. Unfortunately, the Aspect Ratio settings on my TV seem to be disabled temporarily when using Screen Mirroring. I know MX Player has the ability to customize aspect ratio, can i utilize that in some way?? I hope I explained this problem correctly. My apologies if I didnt.

BTW, Regarding the request, we are adding more controls on zoom. With that you can zoom individually with or without locking aspect ratio. So, you can stretch the video as your wish when the horizontal / vertical zooms are unlinked. It will be available on the next version.

Have you tried the custom Zoom function?
It has the options to stretch the video with or without locking the aspect ratio.

yes I have selected and it appears an extra button with x, y + - center a icon i can off on.
And Aspect Ratio custom 10:1, But i can only resize the Video with forced and locked aspect ratio.
I mean it like a pc window that you shrink at the corners. more is not possible.
or It is like paint when you change the size of a picture, Without that to change the aspect ratio.
Same effect. that's why I speak of "forced and locked aspect ratio".

Probably You might have misunderstood the stuffs.
Aspect ratio is basically the ratio of the resolutions in horizontal & vertical directions.
When you stretch the video/Image on one direction, resulting aspect ratio will be different.
If the aspect ratio is locked, if you adjust the one, other other one will be automatically adjusted to preserve the aspect ratio.
Both are possible with MX Player with custom zoom.
If you lock the aspect ratio by using center button, stretching in one direction will automatically stretch on another direction.
If you just disable the center button, you can stretch it on desired direction (horizontal/Vertical).

Mr. Thirumalai.K
Oh my God yes you're right, I have tested now on BlueStacks 3.52
I can Manual Strech with this Android Pc Emulator.
In the middle button state bright, I can only automatically stretch on another direction, You say it correct.
But as middle button state dark, I can do nothing. It has to be on the Hardware Player Error ?
And now ?
Nevertheless thanks for the help

What happens exactly when the linking is enabled and disabled?
Can you try HW+ & SW?
can you make a screen record for us if it's possible?

What happens exactly when the linking is enabled and disabled?
->
the same as bevor:
In the middle button state bright, I can only automatically stretch on another direction -> proportional zoom
But as middle button state dark, I can do nothing.
Can you try HW+ & SW?
-> Yes only: HD, HW+ or SW, the same no free zoom
and MX Player Codec (ARMv7 NEON) 1.9.9 deinstalled, the same.
with Kodi apk v17, I can do stretch on another direction free zoom

Dears I have an android tv and I can't get the manual stretch option in video zoom. I have tried the middle button but it seems like it doesn't toggle. Whatever I do horizontal or vertical. It automatically keep the aspect ratio ... Please help is there a difference while using it on mobile device or TV ??

Some TV devices don't allow to zoom beyond the fit to screen range.
