4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio?

[Gary_Kewley]

Hello,

Im looking to replace jwplayer with wowza player, however jwplayer has a " stretching" feature that will displays a 4:3 video as 16:9 aspect ratio.

" Resize images and video to fit player dimensions. See graphic below for examples
"uniform" — Fits JW Player dimensions while maintaining aspect ratio
"exactfit": Will fit JW Player dimensions without maintaining aspect ratio
"fill" — Will zoom and crop video to fill dimensions, maintaining aspect ratio
"none" — Displays the actual size of the video file. (Black borders)"

Player configuration reference

Can the same be done with the wowza player?

Thanks!

Wowza Player is EOL; so IMO not a good idea to switch. If you want a different player you can look into VideoJS, Clappr, THEOplayer, Bitmovin, Radiant and similar. Most of them have a feature-rich SDK that likely can give an answer to your aspect ratio question.
