21:9 youtube support (I made an extension!!!!)

Hi guys, I'm a noob to the forums, so I apologize if i'm doing it wrong. I tried looking for a solution for this problem but instead decided to fix it myself.

Here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-ultrawide/lngfncacljheahfpahadgipefkbagpdl

If you have a 21:9 (UltraWide) monitor, this chrome extension that I made will allow proper scaling in full screen mode. Any creative feedback you may have would be appreciated, cheers!

As of now it supports Youtube and Netflix, with the ability to toggle it with a tick box and hotkeys.

:eek:

Thanks for the mad support guys! On the 23rd of March UltraWide Video got 97 installs in one day. I Googled it and lo and behold my OCUK post from 22nd of December actually got some comments.

If anyone wants more features, please leave a comment and please review.

I have never done anything with Opera, why not try this? https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/

Done!

It now works with youtube's new layout. Toggle is now ctrl+alt+c, to prevent confusion with netflix support. Don't forget to send a nice review, or tell me it sucks

So you want to be able to zoom in on a 16:9 video, but control by how much?

Basically yeah
VLC has this

(this shows the wrong submenu, but the crop has the same options)
So I guess that would be enough since it's all standard.
Or maybe "just" the possibility to add custom aspect ratios and able to cycle through them with something like alt+ctrl+left/right/up/down/+/- , or bind them directly to alt+ctrl+1/2/3...
Or just zoom by something like 10% steps with one keycombo and 1% with another for super fine controls...
You get the idea

Some great ideas here! Will look into it.
