Describe the bug
Look at the attached screenshots cuz there's no better way to explain this than with screenshots

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Set the player to add black lines in fullscreen.
  2. Run any video whose resolution isn't 100% match for the resolution of your screen. For instance, if your screen is 1920x1080, run a video like 1920x800 (visible area), so that you can see the black lines in question.
  3. Observe the video's image and aspect ratio get all wonky because of the black lines.

Expected behavior
Black lines should only expand the subtitles field, not change the video's aspect ratio.

Screenshots
No black lines - normal video resolution and aspect ratio:

Black lines enabled in settings:

Your Enviroment

  • SMPlayer version: 25.6.0
  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Multimedia engine you're using with SMPlayer (preferences -> general):
    [ ] MPlayer
    [•] MPV

Logs
SMPlayer only shows logs if there's an error playing the video. In this case the video starts OK but the visuals of the video are not OK, so no log available.
