    Default Transcoding of .ISO -> Chromecast not full screen?

    Hi there!

    Love Mezzmo and just picked up a Chromecast. I'm trying to cast my DVD .ISO images from my PC (running the latest build of Mezzmo) to the Chromecast. Through the GUI, I've been able to select the Chromecast profile and I can see it begin to transcode as expected. However, it's not filling up the entire screen:





    Using a 52" Sony Bravia XBR4. I've tried pre-transcoding and changing the aspect option (square pixels) in the GUI, but no matter what .ISO I throw at it, it doesn't expand to full screen.

    Thoughts?

    I just streamed a few DVD ISOs to a Chromecast and they are all played full screen on the TV. Perhaps there is a screen size setting on your TV that you need to adjust. When the DVD ISO is streaming via your Chromecast, press the Options or Tools button your TV's remote control and see if you can adjust the screen, view or zoom mode for that particular HDMI port being used by your Chromecast dongle.

    I can certainly take a look. What's odd though is that the gray Mezzo screen with logo and loading screen is the full 1080p resolution. Perhaps there is a setting to expand the 480p DVD resolution for that particular port though. I'll look and get back to you.

    Thanks!

    As I mentioned earlier, the gray Mezzmo splash screen and loading screens for the .ISOs are in the correct aspect ratio and resolution (the TV's native interface shows 16:9 & 1080p). However as soon as the movie starts playing on the Chromecast (and transcoding on the PC running the Mezzmo server), the movie only displays in the middle of the screen as shown above. However, the native TV interface still shows 16:9 & 1080p when I press the display button on the remote.

    All HDMI inputs are set up the same way on the TV, one of them is connected to my HD DirectTV receiver and the other goes to a DVD Player (which upscales fine). The other odd thing is that if I transcode the video from .ISO to MP4 or MKV, the file plays correctly in the correct aspect ratio and full screen.

    Any further thoughts?

    Thanks for the additional information. Right-click on one of the ISO videos in Mezzmo and click 'Get FFmpeg Information'. Post that information here or email it to us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com. Next, right-click again on the video and click Properties. On the Properties dialog, go to the Transcoding tab and select the transcoded file that you streamed to your Chromecast. Click the 'Get FFmpeg Information' button and also provide this information. Do this for the auto-transcoded file and the pre-transcoded file.

    Interesting. Firmware looks like 17977.

    Same firmware as ours . If you have another TV, try connecting it to another TV and try streaming the same ISO video. If the same result, maybe try factory resetting your Chromecast dongle & see if that helps.

    Strange indeed. I know the firmware was updated pretty much as soon as I plugged it in. I'll try another set in the house (a Samsung) and if it still doesn't work I'll try a factory reset. Thanks for taking the time to look into this with me. Greatly appreciated.
