I submitted a pull request that added 2 new view modes. I just want to solicit some feedback to see if it is something that other people would use and if they have any additional suggestions.
The two new modes display the content the same as the "Normal" view mode unless the content has too wide of an aspect ratio to fill the height of the screen (think watching a 2.39:1 aspect ratio movie on a 16:9 screen where black bars appear on the top and bottom). In this case, these new modes will zoom the content slightly (up to 10% or 20%), cropping the sides of the content, but filling more of the screen height. While this can currently be done by going into each video or TV show and manually adjusting the amount of zoom based on the aspect ratio of the content and the aspect ratio of the screen, these new modes allow it to be done in an automatic way when either of them is applied as the default for all videos.
