I’ve done factory reset, downgrade VLC, but nothing works. If you have the firmware 1.0.27 for me to download, that would be great. Some videos have this problem and some don’t. I didn’t have any problem when I was on 1.0.27

Have you notice any pattern with those videos that gets this issue? perhaps something with the aspect ratio or resolution?

It’s basically any 16:10 videos now. They are all compressed weirdly by VLC. Using any of the resizing option within VLC makes the video look bad.

16:9 videos I can use the “fill” option in VLC to expand it and it looks fine.
