    Hi,
    Im trying to view a 3d movie in 2d with vlc for android on my Google Nexus 6P. I cant change or “force change” resolution. The stock res option choices (circles in red above) dont offer 32:9?
    The vlc for windows has a tools option and force resolution change abilities. Is there a similar option for VLC for android version 3.0.10

    Totally messed up that there is no stretch available… VLC was the only one I found so far that allowed for this so that my media player android videos would stretch the full aspect of my widescreen. PLEASE put this back soon!

    VLC player for android does NOT correctly support cine formats like 2.21:1, etc. All wide ‘scope formats are stretched vertically to 16:9. Otherwise, it’s a great player, but this is a fatal deficiency.
    When I have a widescreen movie to watch, I have to use someone else’s player. Please make this a priority.
