21:9 Not working in Edge #117
Comments
duaragha , What browser you use ? On New Microsoft Edge Netflix is broken and every video with wider than 16:9 aspect ratio open just like this (without any extension) The only thing possible there is to lower the video with extensions to make it fit the center of the screen but it have black bars on all 4 sides of the screen then. I believe chrome have some similar problem because they use the same chromium engine. There is no fix to this as of now, all we have to do is wait and use Netflix app instead. |
Quick question. With extension disabled, is the netflix video cropped
correctly (-ish)?

Update. Was testing Netflix + ultrawidify on Chrome. Without extension all videos (wider than 16:9 ) play to fill the screen vertically as it should be. With the extension you can stretch and crop however you want without any problem . So its not the chromium engine problem and only Edge. On Edge on the other hand even 16:9 and 4:3 videos dont crop/stretch with the ultrawidify. (in the first post duaragha tried to crop 16:9 video to 21:9 ) But they at least (16:9 or 4:3 videos) load normally without the ultrawidify to fill fullscreen vertically (only black bars by the sides on ultrawide monitors as it should be on 16:9 and 4:3 videos) On the other hand videos with wider than 16:9 aspect ratio like in the picture above load like this without extension and there is no way to make them fill the screen with or without extensions. I tried others similar to ultrawidify extensions and the result was the same. Its a real shame because Edge is the only browser to support 4k. |
yeah i realized i was getting this problem cause of edge, I tried using chrome and Netflix was working fine there. i don't really keep chrome downloaded on my computer so it will be annoying to have a separate browser just for Netflix, but meh whatever. hopefully, this extension manages to work with edge sooner or later |
btw i tried using the app, and i still got the same error (plus the only reason i don't wanna use the app is cause i cant speed it up (only on browser or phone) |
Heads up: Chrome got a very similar issue with 4.5.0. In chrome, this issue is mostly fixed by pressing 'reset' and then 21:9. The issue only appears on videos with This does not seem to be the same issue as described here, since it's very specific to Netflix-specific exceptions in default config. |
Good news everyone, I've found the reason for the bug (beyond the 'well it doesn't work without extension, either' we've seen a month ago). Microsoft Edge is BAD and everyone developing it should feel badAnd I shouldn't be this salty because pouncing all over github issues over things not working like a 7 year old is not very professional but I literally just lost two full days' worth of my free time to this shit. Technical stuff: what's going on under the hoodTurns out it's up that implementing how stuff inside a Edge's implementation of
This CSS will resize This is a problem because the first option is how netflix handles 21:9 natively, and because the second option is how this extension handles it. What you can do to helpUsing Firefox or Chrome would be preferrable, but I recognize lots of people use Edge for Netflix because Edge has 4K and other browsers don't. This brings us to the next best option:
Providing e-mail is optional. In the mean time, I am pulling the extension from Microsoft store. |
Another thing, to follow up with the previous comment — I've said that:
in my previous comment, because it seemed like it could work and would be somewhat consistent with observed behaviour. I've tried to implement a proof-of-concept workaround because it would bug me if I didn't try that for shits and giggles. But as it turns out, this way doesn't work either. Even if you set the immediate parent to appropriate height and keep the Which means that:
Closing this issue. I am open to porting Ultrawidify to Edge Chromium once Microsoft fixes their shit browser. |
So we've got an update. TL;DR: as of today, edge works for me. Here's a few more "fun" things to say about this issue. For the past 14ish days, I've been getting 'Edge works now' messages on reddit and here. Mostly chalked them up to false reports and cannot reproduce, because despite pretty much exclusively using Windows for the past three weeks (HZD <3, work </3), the issue has kept popping up for me as late as this past friday, possibly saturday morning (but I don't remember). The fun part? According to the UA string, Edge didn't get any updates. So this was probably a Windows issue. Except that I recall no updates when doing my almost daily reboots (courtesy of dual booting), but then again ... I suppose not all windows updates require a reboot. |
I have the shortcut set to D, but whenever I click it Netflix does something weird. It lifts the video up, (making the bottom black) and it doesn't even remove the black bars into the side
