Hello all.
So i have setup some Arr apps and i mostly download movies in the highest quality. But i started to notice, With REMUX almost always i got black bars on all 4 sides. Is their a way to prevent Sonarr from grabbing movies that have these black bars? Also whats the point of getting REMUX if it has 4 black bars? the movie gets really small in the middle of the screen.
Yeah, jellyfin isnt the greatest about handling the space around a movie. I also have similiar issues. I usually end up playing the movies in vlc and pressing ‘c’ until the video fits the screen best.
I know that you can change the aspect ratio somewhat in jellyfin. but it also often leads to subtitles being half or completely off the screen. is it possible to play from jellyfin true vlc?
Jellyfin MPV Shim does what you want. MPV is an open source media player like VLC, with more focus on embedded use cases (e.g. mpv is an option in Findroid, a Jellyfin Android app).
The MPV shim runs in the background and appears in Jellyfin (web or app) as a Cast device.
It’s awesome since mpv has many keyboard shortcuts I’m missing with Jellyfin.
