Describe the bug

Thank you for the service from Stremio. My overall expereince has been amazing in my last 3 years of use. I just have 2 issues recently:

  1. across multiple shows/movies where the stream will not play if I am connected to my google pixel buds and playing through the exo player. So most of the time (80-90%) I have to change audio output to TV let the stream load and when it starts playing I reconnect back to the earbuds. when I do this most of the time the stream continues playing but sometimes it can disconnect back to the same issue. I don't have this issue when watching youtube or amazon prime whilst connected to the earbuds.
  2. due to issue 1 above - when I try to switch the player to VLC the earbud issue is resolved and the stream plays however, VLC plays the stream as a stretched full screen and even if i try to change the screen fit settings it doesn't change and remains streight. So the viewing experience is not enjoyeable.

Note: I don't get this issue when watching on my phone, tablet or PC

To Reproduce

ISSUE 1:

  1. download stremio on google tv streamer
  2. connect google pixel puds pro to Bluetooth
  3. open stremio with plug ins like torrentio installed
  4. play any series show at 1080p res
  5. if exo player crashes and asks to switch to vlc disconnect the Bluetooth device and play again using exo player - do not switch to VLC. The stream will play

ISSUE 2:

  1. If you proceed to play with VLC the stream at (16:9) ratio will stretch vertically to fit the TV screen
  2. try to change the fitting settings. Nothing will change

Expected behavior

ISSUE 1:

  1. exo player crashing when connected to Bluetooth

ISSUE 2:

  1. screen fitting not changing
