Hello,

Im looking to replace jwplayer with wowza player, however jwplayer has a " **stretching**" feature that will displays a 4:3 video as 16:9 aspect ratio.

" Resize images and video to fit player dimensions. See graphic below for examples  
**“uniform”** — Fits JW Player dimensions while maintaining aspect ratio  
**“exactfit”:** Will fit JW Player dimensions without maintaining aspect ratio  
**“fill”** — Will zoom and crop video to fill dimensions, maintaining aspect ratio  
**“none”** — Displays the actual size of the video file. (Black borders)"

Can the same be done with the wowza player?

Thanks!

[Wowza Player is EOL](https://info.wowza.com/product-notification-april-2020); so IMO not a good idea to switch. If you want a different player you can look into VideoJS, Clappr, THEOplayer, Bitmovin, Radiant and similar. Most of them have a feature-rich SDK that likely can give an answer to your aspect ratio question.
