Go90 on Android TV Aspect Ratio issues

by MrPoliSciGuy

Hello all,

I’m fully aware that I may be the only one on this subreddit who uses go90, but it’s surprisingly good for streaming live sports for free (Soccer in particular). I sideloaded it to my Nvidia Shield and it works well enough with an air mouse, no issues with streaming whatsoever.

The problem I am having is with the content being streamed being cut-off. There is an annoying top bar that appears over the video, forcing the image down and cutting off the content at the bottom. This same bar appears on a phone or tablet when the device is being held vertically, however when the device is held horizontally the image should go full screen. On a mobile device this works perfectly... on my Shield not so much. I have the force rotation app installed which should be telling the app that my “device” is being held horizontally but for some reason the top banner just doesn’t disappear.

Anyone else run into this problem? Or have any guesses to fix it?

TedDanson-

Happens to me too. Hoping for a fix for a long time.

TedDanson-

I have a fix for it! Well, it is if you have a device with cast ability. Cast your phone or tablet device display directly to your display rather than using the go90 app and it works great.

I have similar problem. Go90 casts fine to Chromecast but not to Nexus Player. It doesn't cut off the bottom, but only shows top-left two-thirds of the video. Sort of looks like showing 720 out of 1080 (but TV is 1080).

Now, I cast Go90 from browser.
