Arvioitu 5/5
kirjoittanut TheInfidel, vuosi sittenIve been using Ultrawidify for long, but it has major performance issues with 4k 60fps ultrawide (on very powerful hardware you will have 1% frame drops with it enabled). This extension is far slicker, lower footprint, does not cause ANY issues with the same footage, and it offers a very convenient way of adapting a quite troubled aspect ratio of superultrawide 5120x1440 32:9 to the needs of the user. It must be said that 5120x1440 32:9 is basically a failed concept of aspect ratio implementation on a monitor that is supposed to play content NOT natively made in that same format. It will NEVER work properly fullscreen without cropping or distortion. This resolution should have received a 32:10 monitor solution. Sadly cheaping out on the panel size made it a sad affair for scaling video content. The solution for me is to set X to 0:9 and Y 1.3 in stretch mode.This will have small horizontal black bars but they are a acceptable trade off , minimal cropping the content,and have a natural viewing experience with no distortion.
Alternatively setting it to NORMAL with X at 1.9 and Y at 1 will not crop anything, while having minimal black bars vertically.
Conclusion. No software solution can provide the perfect 32:9 5120x1440 experience. It is inherently a unbypassable hardware problem to display content not natively provided in that format. A video game that offers the resolution settings does this. A video not recorded in that same format can not, no upscaling or stretching can remedy this to perfection.
What i do not like is the paywall for pro features, at least name a price and the added functionality in your UI.

lähetetty vuosi sittenAppreciate the thorough review, TheInfidel.
Duly noted, regarding the paywall. As you may conclude from that, I am not really pushing people to upgrade to Pro. It's more of a support the development - type of thing.
Aside, I did not want to bloat the extension size by adding a bunch of text into the Popup window. At some point, I might describe it a bit better and have a page dedicated to the features and pricing, before authentication lock.

- Arvioitu 3/5kirjoittanut Moz-4817, kolme kuukautta sittenIt works decently well, but important features are locked behind a paid subscription that somehow requires a github account. I'm usually happy to donate if an extension is useful, but to not even be able to use it outside of fullscreen if I don't? And I didn't see a way to try the paid features and verify they actually work before paying, maybe I missed it.

lähetetty kolme kuukautta sittenHello,
Pro features are indeed locked and there is no trial. The approach is, subscribe to keep extension alive and you will get those finished pro features unlocked as a bonus.
So adding them as "try before you buy - does not make sense in this scenario", sorry.
I do not think that any Pro features are really that much important, all the basic functionality is already there and free to use.
Thanks! - Arvioitu 2/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 19518313, kolme kuukautta sittenIt's a great extension, but since last update subtitles doesn't work on full screen

- Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut Ryan, neljä kuukautta sittenI’ve noticed an issue when using UltraWideo with Apple TV+ in the Firefox browser. When I stretch the video to fill my screen, the Apple TV+ subtitles no longer display correctly. They get cut off or covered up, making them unreadable. This didn't used to happen, I believe. I suspect the extension is applying the stretch only to the

2. No, where did you get that misinformation from? It collects zero data. - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Steven, kuusi kuukautta sittenWorks amazing. Please do not add the watermark back as that is a deal breaker for OLED users.
- Arvioitu 2/5kirjoittanut Matthew, kuusi kuukautta sittenHotkeys don't always work in firefox. Whyyyyy is there a watermark? I'm uninstalling and searching for an alternative simply because of the dumb watermark.

Watermark will disappear in 3.5.1, but Mozilla is slow on approval. Should happen this week I guess. Try Chrome? - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 19174785, kuusi kuukautta sittenBig ups to this dev for listening to feedback

I did not expect this tiny watermark to be huge annoyance, but seeing many negative feedback the watermark is removed in version 3.5.1. - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 19172277, kuusi kuukautta sittenThis was originally a 1-star review of a version that had a watermark added in the non-Pro version. After kindly listening to our feedback, the developer changed this, and I can now wholeheartedly recommend the add-on! Much appreciated.

OG: Works great for cropping widescreen to 4:3. Although in 3.5.0 a watermark was added for free users, shame it used to be open-source too :/Kehittäjän vastaus

- Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut Shrugal, seitsemän kuukautta sittenWorks great for the most part. Only problem I have is that it makes Plex fail to change the video (next/previous, changing a stream etc.) when in fullscreen mode.
- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut lulul, kahdeksan kuukautta sitteni don't have an ultrawide monitor, but since every video now has some other aspect ratio than the regular 16:9 monitors, this extension is a must.

- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Buschti, kahdeksan kuukautta sittenI had to downgrade to Version 3.3.4 because the Addon doesn't work on some sites it used to work with. Example 1: "heute.de" (reroutes to zdf.de) videos show a black screen, when viewed in fullscreen mode. Example 2: I sometimes watch videos via the Plex Web App and since the newest version the Addon doesn't seem to register the player anymore and stays in 16:9 in fullscreen mode.
Both sites work fine with the downgraded version.
EDIT: fixed the problems I had with it. Thumbs up!Kehittäjän vastaus
lähetetty kahdeksan kuukautta sittenFixed for "zdf.de". They added some kind of weird padding to the wrapper of the container , so extension will now remove that extra thing from their platform. But I will wait for release to see if there are any other issue reports that I can resolve.
Can you tell me more about Plex? I just tried it and it seems to work the same way it was. I wait for ad to finish, movie starts, I go fullscreen – it works.
