Nice HDR  fullscreen(aspect ratio?) bug catch.
HDR video 2.40:1 aspect ratio is  always play in fullscreen with HiMediaVideoPlayer.

HiMediaVideoPlayer


Android player


Note: SDR 2.40:1 aspect ratio is play proper as 2.40:1.

You have to make sure under settings, video,  you choose not FULL SCREEN for size and use keep aspect I beleive.

If you choose fit to screen,  full screen,  it removes bars and stretches...
Hope this helps...

What is your firmware?
I have 1.0.9 and have no proper aspect ratio in any player (android player as well).
all the players output this aspect ratio:

HMD-1.0.9 2016-12-13.091707
Bug look to be connect with fullscreen option add by HiMedia in f/w.
Bad aspect ratio have with HiMediaVideoPlayer, DLNA player(a.k.a HiSilicon player), other like Android player, MX player have correct aspect ratio.
Your screenshot look like aspect ratio is set(recognize) like 4:3 and not 16:9 in settings/Playback.

If the files have a resolution of 3840*2160 everything is fine.
But this file has a resolution of 3840*1600.
Seems to me like the player is unable to fill the rest with black and stretches it instead.
 I found another file with a resolution of 3840*1634, which causes the same problems.
Firmware 1.09

@gadr your file is HDR?

3840*2160 is aspect ratio is 1.78:1 == fullscreen, HiMedia/users can't trace/observe fullscreen bug.
3840*1600, 3840*1634, aspect ratio 2.40:1 <> fullscreen, but  HiMediaVideoPlayer play to fullscreen bug are popup.

[gadr]

Yes, both HDR files.

I've passed this bug info and the sample file onto HiMedia.

Hope this resolved in the next firmware update. I have at least 4 movies having the same problem!

A workaround for this is to use the UPNP  player ..

Pls can you be more specific?

1920x804 resolution also bug.

I have a upnp server (Plex) running on my server and on the  Q5 pro you can use Fantec Media Center for this kind of files.

Normally the Fantec Media Server has a huge underscan, but for these files it works ok.

On a local Himedia Forum some users reported the same incorrect aspect ratio (stretching) bug with 3840*1600 ("cropped") videos.
