Hi
I watched Defending Jacob on apple tv app on my lg oled and it was full screen, no bars top and bottom.
Backed out of episode and then pressed resume and it had bars top and bottom.
I fixed it by doing this, but it shouldn't have done it in the first place. Has anyone else noticed this happen?
Perhaps a bug on the internal TV app that Apple have yet to address?
Thanks
OLED55CX5LB,
There is a zoom-to-fit option on the Apple TV set-top box, to zoom the amount needed to not have letterbox bars. That viewing property would be temporary for the currently playing title, and would not retain after backing out.
Possibly that option also exists on the Apple TV app on smart TVs?
Possibly that option was activated accidentally.

Cheers will check, although a few others on another forum have reported same behaviour where apple tv + content is full screen when it should have black bars via the internal TV app.
Backing out or changing the aspect ratio and back again seems to fix it so sounds like a possible bug.

Good idea to submit a bug report to Apple, clearly an issue that is effecting some people then.

Good news guys. Got an update today which seems to fix it from the little testing I’ve done 😊
Good to hear, I actually went back to using my apple tv 4k box as I like to view some of the extras you get with movie purchases, still hopefully its fixed then.
I am having the same issue when watching a CBS All Access show (Star Trek: Deep Space 9) via the Apple TV channel on Visio TV using Roku Express. Shows in 16:9 on CBS All Access channel directly, but 4:3 when watching thru Apple TV.

Thanks. Just logged a bug report.
I have the exact same issue watching anything on Apple TV + through an LG C8
Me too. How this missed beta testing I've no idea. This happens on every title I watch on TV using the app on my LG tv.
Same here. Backing out and going back in normally just restarts the episode. Annoying.
