- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12670179, 5 years ago*Second edit* Issue seems resolved as of early April 2020. No idea what changed and I don't care hehe. Back to a 5/5 for me. *edit*
This add on is great, but it has a very annoying flaw. It randomly stop working (with some frequency), forcing me to go into the addon configuration and disable/re-enable it to get it to work again. It does exactly what it says it will do, which is awesome, but this erratic behaviour keeps it a 3/5 for me.
*first edit* I can't figure out how to reply, so I'll edit here. Interference may be coming from one of two add-ons I have: 1) uBlock Origin and 2) Video Background Play Fix. Of the two, background play seems more likely, but who knows. Unfortunately, I need those add-ons more than this one, so I'll just live with enabling / disabling for now. Also, I just assumed this was a Firefox for Android reporting / reviewing system, but it seems it isn't. Because I didn't mention it before, I'm running Android 9 on a Samsung A8 (2018). *edit*Developer response
posted 5 years agoI wish if I could reproduce this so that I can fix it. Maybe you can record a video snippet and share a link as a reply so that I can take a look. Maybe another extension is interfering?
P.S. This extension has 100% test coverage and all tests are passing. Maybe I'm missing something? - Rated 5 out of 5by EmeraldTeressa, 5 years agoI am using old samsung tab s 8.4. Maybe it has peculiar aspect ratio because all of my streaming videos has black bar on top/bottom. Few years of streaming videos this way has made my screen to have light burn-in (top/bottom brighter than the rest. Right now only detectable using screen diagnostic tool software). I don't want this problem to get to a point where it is clearly noticeable.
Tried everything, and this is the only one that worked on all of my streaming sites by force-stretch the video to full. Genius work !Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by lightmare, 5 years agoworks great but i wish you could add this feature it will make it 10 times better, can you make an option for half and half ? i mean upscale/stretch hybrid, this will minimize the crop and the picture wont look too stretched. idk if its possible but if it is that would look much better,best regards

posted 5 years agoHello, thank you for your review.
To answer your question, it is not possible to achieve that. Although, admittedly, it does sound great.
If such a thing becomes possible, I will surely implement it.
Best regards,

- Rated 5 out of 5by justposted, 6 years agoWhat a nicely done add-on. Works on all the sites I have tried, scales to fill width (cropping the top/bottom if necessary) and can be toggled on/off easily.

But i do not like cropping cause is zooming magnife all the image sometime is cuting from the head of people. Thay way i prefer streached image cause u see all the image eaven is streached a little bit
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14407138, 6 years agoIt's a very good add-on with all the modes I needed and keyboard shortcuts to turn on and off. Works very well for the most part.
But there is a small problem. In youtube when I stop/pause the extension with the keyboard shortcut (ctrl+shift+9), leave full screen, then change video or refresh and then enter full screen again, I cannot unpause the extension. I have to leave full screen press the unpause keyboard shortcut and then it works again.Developer response
posted 6 years ago~This should not be an issue anymore. I believe I fixed this in version 1.6...~
UPDATE:
Hello and thank you for review,
I believe you're talking about CTRL + SHIFT + 0 (pause the extension) shortcut.
You are allowed to pause the extension via a shortcut, but you are not allowed to unpause it. To unpause the extension, you do have to leave fullscreen and click the extension icon and then manually toggle pause - off.
This is expected behavior and the reason behind it is that pause will kill all listeners of the extension (including the keyboard shortcuts).
I hope that you understand and if you have any suggestions, let me know.
