I have the new HTC TP2 with a screen size of 3.6 and a resolution of 800x480. Can anybody tell me if Slingmedia is working on adding a tab that would fill my screen? I have lots of movies I converted to play on the PSP They look the best on this phone even better then the PSP! The resolution is 368x288 Mpeg-4 Highest quality, Using Sony's PSP converter software.

in my experience, full screen size on mobile isn't depends on slingplayer mobile
my Samsung Omnia 800x600 can see full size apps interface
but some kind of video source cannot play in full-scretched screen

Looks like Slingbox couldn't detect the non-traditional resolution or input video
I have a IPTV box video source 1024*768 (BBTV in Hong Kong) can play full-scretched screen on my mobile
but another Ei8ht HD-838 pro box output video source 1920x1080 (HDTV) cannot play full-scretched screen on my mobile, only 70% of the screen or (using Letterbox) aspect-ratio unmatch filled 80% of the screen

Hope Slingmedia can fix it by upgrading the firmware

I understand what you're saying, but I would not want the phone to stretch a small resolution video file anyway because it would be grainy, and you would not want too high of a resolution and bit rate because you will continue to go over 5 Gigs a month. Thats why I posted this resolution 368 x 288, this is still 4 x 3 aspect ratio (thats what WVGA is) So they need to update the mobile software so it can sync for that resolution.
