When playing back a video, go into the on-screen-display controls -> Video settings -> View mode -> Stretch 16:9
This will do a vertical stretch. It will also do a vertical stretch to any size/aspect ratio video output, not just 16:9, despite the name.

Doesn't do a Vertical stretch just stretches it out long ways. Makes it fatter. Need to make it Taller. So a 2.35:1 image fills a 16x9 frame.

It will if you also check off "Crop black bars" in that same window.

Hmm, seems the "Crop black bars" feature only works with software decoding, and it has been removed from future versions because the current implementation is very buggy.
So basically, your request is actually valid after all, because a new "crop black bars" feature is required to do what you need :)

They are requesting a skin that is anamorphic friendly . I'm talking about the vertical stretch to eliminate the black bars that are hard coded into blu-ray's. I don't really care about that interface being some what stretched I can live with that . I need the vertical stretch option so when the movie is played through an anamorphic lens it is displayed properly.

Vertical stretch would be an ice feature to have back. None of the new Sony projectors have vertical stretch. For people that have anamorphic lens, it's a real bonus.

Hmmmm I'm hunting down a lens ( as we speak ) , and a PJ ( sony non stretcher ) , so this would be a great upgrade for my future Theater ( vertical stretch ).
I am three days into a new MediaCenter, with Kodi/Chromebox. Big learning curve for me being somewhat new to HTPC's.
So, get busy LOL, and get this done ! I should be in a new house by years end and ready to build a new theater.
