The urgent vital need of potplayer compatibility because vlc doesn't have save life option "stretch video" #56

Hello, I am currently using my old laptop from 2012 which has a small screen, and vlc still shows me the annoying black bars on my small screen, every surface, square centimeter, pixel counts, I have tried everything: change aspect ratio, zoom, crop, keyboard shortcut, all the advanced video options.....nothing works to remove these annoying black bars, I disabled an advanced function to adapt the video to the window and the black bars disappear in vlc but a large part of the original video has disappeared, while in potplayer, there is a "stretch video" option which easily removes the black bars without deleting parts of the video as vlc does, so we hope please a specific support of potplayer please because we cannot open streaming video with potplayer using Open-in-vlc, potplayer opens but there is no video unfortunately as in this site first media player :(

i even installed "URL Protocol" invented by the developer of Cat-catch extension which allows to preview streaming videos with vlc and potplayer beacause url protocol software supports potplayer, vlc.....

but even by combining the use of Open-in-vlc and url protocol of cat catch and the new version of native cleint, we can not open streaming videos with potlayer and we hope our beloved Open-in-vlc will add the vital support of potplayer please! Thank you so much :)

(obviously I put the path of potplayer in Open-in-vlc settings, and I use supermium browser 32 bits windows 7, and thorium legacy and yandex 32 bits and firefox esr 32 bits)

I think potplayer will make Open-in-vlc the most powerful and popular extension in the world because vlc does not support yt-dlp and vlc does not playback youtube videos anymore while potplayer by combining the use of 3DYD Youtube Source plugin which allows to add yt-dlp support to potplayer, mpc-be.....

so we can playback videos from thousands of sites supported by yt-dlp, youtube videos...with potplayer and mpc-be which has a 32 bits windows 7 version, so Open-in-vlc would become even more popular and beautiful and compatible with the majority sites of the world, in addition gridplayer based on vlc, gridplayer supports yt-dlp and streamlink so Open-in-vlc compatible with gridplayer, qmplay2, moonplayer, kikoplay, implay....will be even more powerful amazing exceptional revolutionary!

maybe it is good idea to invent a fork of the extension called "Open-in-potplayer" given the capital importance and the worldwide popularity of potplayer :)

Thank you very much!
