Hello @Heehaaw ,
Thank you for opening new feature request and for using UW. Unfortunately that's not possible as the extension doesn't use expensive JS calculations and resize events, it relies strictly on some CSS properties.
Kind regards!
@dvlden before I used your awesome extension I always did that manually using CSS3 transform-scale
... Something like
.uwv {
&-active &-video &-custom {
transform: scale(X, Y);
}
}
X
and Y
being the custom entered values.
Hmmm, interesting. Does it work well with object-fit
?
I'd be grateful if you can test and record 5-10 seconds video.
Thank you in advance!
I've created a fiddle... Try hovering over the images - seems to work OK.
This is very good indeed! How do you think this should be used tho? Two small inputs that allow custom value for X and Y axis, as you stated?
I am aware that some videos still come with black bars, even after cover or stretch, but it's rare, happens on weird aspect ratios and never happened to me on Ultra Wide screen, only 13" MacBook.
Let me ask you a couple of questions, to help myself:
cmd + up/down
to interact with Y
axis and cmd + left/right
to interact with X
axis values.)0.1
, 0.5
or 1
)Feel free to discuss with me anything else regarding this feature you have on your mind. It'll just help to develop it as best as possible.
Thanks again!
Also, I'll just say that this might work best if settings were saved per video or at least per platform, as feature request #33 that I did not have time to develop, yet.
I always come across some weird videos that are in completely unusable aspect ratios.
I kinda hate not being able to utilize the whole of my ultra-wide real estate while consuming full-screen content; I can't stand black bars.
That being said, I don't think too many people would use the feature, but some might.
I'd see the implementation as a 4th toggle, which would expand a sub-menu with 2-3 inputs (or sliders, or both) - X
scale factor, Y
scale factor and optionally a scale step input.
What do you think?

This would be nice indeed. But not crucial for custom scaling to be useful, I think.
Very descriptive and useful. I like the variable field thought for the increment/descrement.
Would this feature be something that you would be willing to contribute to the extension yourself?
I am busy with a paid project until the end of February and I'm not certain that I'll get spare time after that period. But I really hope so!
However, if not you, someone else might be willing to jump into this feature?
Thank you for the suggestion @Heehaaw !
I don't have much time myself. At least not right now. I might be able to slip in a couple of hours here and there, but nothing certain, nor regular. We will see...
Thanks for the awesome extension!
Missing this feature myself, since i have a 50" screen and "the mandalorean" is either in letterbox or cropped (with ultrawideo upscale). Unfortunately not a dev myself, but if there is anything else i can do to help make this happen, just let me know!
Hello! First things first, thanks for the awesome project! It makes watching video on UW monitors so much more bearable.
Now to the question: Would it be possible to enable custom stretch ratios? ie. to be able to input two numbers that represents said ratio in X and Y axes? This would solve for those random videos with black bars already baked in...
