Amazon Fire Stick 4K Aspect Ratio Issue

Postby ElodinHolden » 08 Feb 2019 22:59

Hello there, I could not find this in the search, but others have reported this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comment ... _stick_4k/
EDIT: FIXED LINK

I can confirm that turning the acceleration off or to decoder only does fix the issue, but there are then playback issues with the framerate.

When acceleration is Automatic or ON the video is full frame on the monitor/TV. There is no difference changing the Zoom to best fit/center. 4:3 does change it to 4:3, but that is not the correct aspect for the video.

This happens with every video file I have played h.264, h.265, MP4. Is there a place we can report a bug or is anyone else seeing this problem and has a fix?

Hello,

this issue is now fixed in VLC. Wait for a new VLC for Android release that should come this week or next week.
