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.

Hey guys,
This has probably been asked many times. I've seen the HD2 play movies face to face, is there a program or a format that can be used on the TP2 to utilize the whole screen and not just show a movie in letterbox format?
This "letterbox format" you speak of is a result of the movies aspect ratio not matching that of your phones screen. Getting it to fill the whole screen should be a scaler setting of whatever video player software you are using.
By default most software is set to maintain the correct aspect ratio while keeping the full frame of the video visible. You want the setting that maintains the aspect ratio but zooms in on the video to fill the entire screen. The name of such a setting is variable between different applications; on Media Player Classic in Windows it is called "Touch Window From Outside", on TCPMP it is called "Fill Screen" and in the Zoom section of the options menu. I've never used any HTC video player application so I cannot help on that end.
With todays standards, there are several Aspect Ratios, though the most well known Aspect Ratios are Widescreen/Letter Box [16:9]/[16:10] and Full Screen/Standard [4:3].
If you wish NOT to download/install other apps to watch a movie in simple Full Screen mode, just make sure the video you want to watch in full screen is atleast 4:3 ratio.
I want to 3D to 2D converter feature.

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.

Dear All,
I just bought an Amlogic S812 the Android TV box to replace the old one (Allwiner A31s Android TVbox)
Currently when watching movies with the software MXplayer , it can not Crop the Screen Size to remove black place on top and bottom of screen, it only can use Stretch option to stretch vertically, does not stretch horizontally, so making everything in movies stretch out :crying:
I do not experience this problem on older devices using Allwiner A31s chip.
Pls help me fix this issue
P/S: I face this issue on SONY Bravia 55X9000C Android TV too.
Thank you all.
Anybody??
Same issue with the newest s905x3 chipset, Android 9.0... I don't have all the options in my settings, I can't even place apps on homescreen using Nova Launcher, I can't see the bottom drawer to open all running apps. Do manufacturers modify the Android version they put on these boxes? Is there a way to fix these issues, especially the video player cropping? In my box no player can crop, only stretches vertically, leaving me with an incorrect aspect ratio.
Hi everyone.
This may be a solution.
I get to realise that this thread has a long history and there is no proper answer.
I too had the same problem while using MX player in Android tv. But some video are able to crop view. After many thoughts I get to realise that there are two kind of popular encoding in mkv format.
Videos encoded in H.264 have no problem. But if it is H.265 commonly known as HEVC it will no crop or zoom in.
I currently use H.264 video for maximum use of my tv screen.
Please Google these encoding method for better understanding. There are some interesting comparison between two.
Happy watching
I just buy 5 MK903V Mini TV players to put in all my LG screen (for digital signage). My LG screens don't have the option to rotate the content. So i have send it from the player. I already try with 3rd party apps (screen rotations apps) but it seems that the player don't accept any configuration at all. The HDMI out from the player is 1280x 1080. And my android application forces that goes to portrait, but without not success. Does anyone one have any advice?
Thanks
What is Android TV support for "irregular" display resolutions?
I cannot find the answer anywhere online so I turn to the experts. I found conflicting answers, most to the negative, but no definitive explanation.
The story:
I recently bought an ultra wide monitor (Samsung S34J550 with 21:9, 3440x1440 WQHD resolution) to work from home that I occasionally would like to use as a smart TV in the living room, without hooking a PC and HDMI cable to it. Currently I can see some Netflix movie in full screen when played from my PC via HDMI to the Samsung monitor. For convenience, I'm looking for a PC-less solution where I would remotely control the device. I'm ready to buy an Amazon Fire Stick 4K or any other Android TV device, or a ChromeCast as long as I can leverage the full ultra width for 21:9 movie playback.
Would any Android stick adapt to a WQHD resolution? Or only 4K sticks? Amazon Fire 4K? Google ChromeCast? None of the above? And if not, what are my options?
Alternatively, a lower 21:9 resolution would still fine with me for movie watching. Like 1/4 of full resolution: 1720x720.
TIA
Same
I have exactly the same situation, 3440x1440 display, and it is annoying to be forced to use a laptop for proper 21:9 watching experience.
Support for wide formats is needed for Android TV.
I am using Xiaomi's Xi Box S as it claimed to have support up to 4K resolutions. Unfortunately only regular 16:9 modes seem to be supported so have to use it at 1080p only.
