Enable automatic aspect ratio detection
This option uses 3rd party websites to determine aspect ratio. It may not work all the time or even properly. It only works with Netflix. This option is NOT available on Youtube.
Show UI in the player bar
If this option is enabled, the extension will add some extra buttons to the player bar. If this option is disabled, setting video fit and aspect ratio is only possible via keyboard shortcuts.
If possible, use compact UI
With this option enabled, only 'more settings' button is enabled. Note that this option doesn't work on every site.

Ultrawidify - an aspect ratio fixer for youtube (and netflix)

Created by Tamius Han (me). If something is broken, you can shout at me on github (shout nicely, though. Open an issue or bug report or something). If you're curious to see the source code, github's here. If you're looking at this page because you're bored and want to be bored some more, my website's here.

So you want to help?

There's a lot of sites where you can stream videos. A lot of these sites keep failing to handle aspect ratios correctly, which means it would be great if this extension worked elsewhere. Unfortunately, a lot of these sites require me to pony up some money (ayy lmao) OR just flat out block anyone who's not from the US (or their small selection of approved regions). Some sites even do both.

This means I'd need some help. There's two ways. One of them is to use 'inspect element' option of your browser to pick up IDs (or classnames) of certain elements. More detail here(TODO: add a link to quick tutorial).

The second one is, well. I won't shy away from donations either. Bonus respect for dank amounts!

Needless to say, I'll be happy and thankful regardless of the way you contribute.

Plans for the future

Support for more sizes. More flexible/customizable UI. Maybe (but absolutely no promises here) a bit more advanced autodetection.

Acknowledgements

This extension uses font Oxygen.

Special thanks to CD Project Red (The Witcher 2), Anet (Guild Wars 2), and Valve (CS:GO), which made it possible for me to untrigger myself after seeing so many improperly encoded videos.

More or less.

Special one-finger salute to all incompetent people who don't know how to properly encode videos and upload them to youtube (to word it most nicely).

Special thanks to me for making this extension. You're welcome.
