If your stream is published using 1024×768 (4:3) aspect ratio, the player will have two black lines on the left and on the right. This is caused because the player default aspect ratio is 16:9.
You can try updating the resolution on the camera to publish in a 16:9 aspect ratio and see if you prefer that view over the current feed published in 4:3.
More details about resolution aspect ratio can be found on Wikipedia:
Note: The player reports the resolution by clicking on it and hitting CTRL+ALT+F
Below you can see some examples of different videos played in a 16:9 player:
- 16:9 aspect ratio of the video – HD video standard
