Fixing YouTube Aspect Ratio Issues in SMPlayer: A Comprehensive Guide

Are you tired of dealing with distorted videos on YouTube in your SMPlayer? If so, this article will help you troubleshoot and fix the aspect ratio issues once and for all.

One common problem users face is the cutoff pixels at the right side of the screen. This issue can be frustrating, especially when watching videos that require precise scrolling. To address this problem, I tried the 'YouTube ALL HTML5' addon for Firefox, which, although not perfect, performed slightly better than Flash in windowed mode and slightly worse in fullscreen mode.

I also experimented with different graphics card configurations, including using a VGA to DVI adapter to connect my monitor directly to the graphics card. Unfortunately, this didn't make any difference. It's possible that other users may not even notice this issue due to their monitors' handling of resolutions, which can result in blurry images.

To further investigate this problem, I used xrandr to add two custom resolution modes (1366x768) to my monitor. However, this solution did not yield the desired results, as the screen remained cutoff on the right side.

In conclusion, fixing aspect ratio issues in SMPlayer requires a combination of troubleshooting and experimentation with different settings and configurations. If you're struggling with similar problems,
