Hi! Has anyone managed to get the MP4 files (videos) working in full screen?
720p clips take around 1/2 of player screen (thick black borders everywhere) and 1/4 of the whole screen. Really waste of such screen when you can use such a small portion of it.

Example of a movie played on it :

I use USB-C adapter with SD card inside (64GB). Most of the time I use it while stationary but I have enabled video in motion , to make use of it while on the move (I know it is dangerous, but I ignore it, my kids watch it).

I see from your forum signature that you’re in Bulgaria so the legal and insurance position in relation to video in motion may be different to the UK. In the UK, I believe video in motion is illegal if the screen showing the video is in the driver‘s line of sight, and I think it would invalidate your insurance too.

VIM is not forbidden in my country, yes. I am aware of the restrictions in other countries and am not advocating of using it. Just noting (in regards to how video clips can be played) that this can be done both stationary and in motion.
Whether it should , depends on both the laws and the driver's abilities.

Best regards!

It looks like a 4:3 video inside a 16:9 frame. You could try a 16:9 video and see what happens.
I also think that in VLC you can convert a 4:3 to a 16:9 but everything will probably look stretched.
