Additional context and/or screenshots

Till about yesterday, videos in theater mode didn't have black borders and videos looked so good in the theater mode but today there are black borders around the video. So far I have tried

Attaching an image as example

These are the settings And this is an example video in incognito

Earlier there were no black borders on any side of the video.

Thanks for the bugreport. This seems to be caused by a change in the html layout of the theater view that YouTube has made an hour ago.

I'll update the extension to make it compatible with the new theater layout.

Luckily it was an easy fix! 🚀

The update will be available in Firefox in an hour and the other browsers often need a workday to review updates. You can track the status of the update per browser in this issue: https://github.com/WesselKroos/youtube-ambilight/issues/179
