Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 13321847, 8 years agoI use this addon to watch Netlix in 21:9, recently it stopped working on Netflix. The control panel isn't displayed, using D to force 21:9 isn't working either.
On youtube, the control panel is being displayed and the key shortcut D is also working.
But as i mainly use this addon when watchin Netflix (i rarely need to watch a music video in 21:9) im really bothered by it not working.
Also, even as it still worked on Netflix - the automatic ratio detecion never worked, not on youtube and not on netflix.
Would appreciate it greatly if you could fix this soon.

Regarding netflix: thanks for mentioning it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to fix netflix until at least two months from now due to financial issues.
Regarding autodetection: It was specifically stated it only works on Netflix. Are you sure you sure your Netflix is in English (and that the movie is in English/original title)? Are you sure that the movie is on iMDB _and_ OMDB?
Given that I'm finally freed of my real-life commitments that took most of my time for the past six months, I'm slowly starting working on this extension again, which makes me rather interested in the details of any reported bug.

- Rated 2 out of 5by vandim, 7 months agoWorked great until recently. After watching videos for a while (not using fullscreen) the whole window turns grey and the audio keeps playing but the tab becomes completely unresponsive and can only be fixed by closing the browser
- Rated 5 out of 5by Tiger II, 7 months agoWorks perfectly, using it to stretch youtube videos to 16:9 in fullscreen (no cropping), because some videos have black bars on the left and right sides when in fullscreen, but Ultrawidify fixes that automatically, all you have to do is go into settings and select 16:9 stretch hybrid.
- Rated 1 out of 5by wando, 9 months agoLags out on some videos, making them unable to be normally watched.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18389140, a year agoFixed my twitch and youtube, saved my marriage, cured my stomach ache and drove my kids to lacrosse practice every day. Not a single add on does that, but if you believe in yourself and in Tamius, it is possible. Dont let your memes be dreams!

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14302851, 2 years agoFunktioniert zwar, aber flackert bzw. ist langsam wenn man in Fullscreen geht und zurück. Die ganzen Optionen sind für mich auch schwer zu erklären.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Braix, 2 years agoWorks well. Ironically, I'm using it to stretch 4:3 to widescreen so it looks correct on my crt (adapter shenanigans)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Osang, 2 years agoI constantly watch web streaming, whether they are of individuals or movies. With the help of this add-on, the black bar issue was resolved. I'd want to thank the developer.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Luca, 2 years agoKeeps bugging lately and videos are stuck on the sides or corner of the screen. Older versions were far far better but not downloadable anymore

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12900474, 2 years agoworks similar to madvr's black bars cropping, mpv player's autocrop script is better to cut black bars because it uses less pc resources, this extension for some reason only cuts the top and bottom black bars the side bars don't crop, screen 1366x768 youtube

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bernhard, 3 years agoGreat addon, but only for technophile users. Again and again the addon has to be readjusted on different levels. Usually, the addon works without major readjustments across all major streaming services. Sometimes, often with DisneyPlus or PrimeVideo, I have to readjust certain settings via "Site Settings" (Enable/Persist) and "Advanced Setting" (Limit Zoom) so that I can restore a 21:9 image via VideoSettings. After a lot of trial and error with the settings at the beginning, I can now almost always change the picture to 21:9 without any loss. Knowing this, the addon is indispensable for 21:9 fans. Thanks to the developer!
- Rated 5 out of 5by h4zmat, 3 years agoPerfect for my use case. Most other ultrawide video addons don't have an option for 18:9 and this has that and more.
