Enhanced Zoom Options to fit 20:9 Aspect Ratio Displays

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When viewing content on Findroid with a 20:9 display, I encounter black borders that remain even after using the pinch-to-zoom feature. Specifically, the black borders appear on top and bottom of the screen in landscape mode. This does not utilize the full potential of my device's tall screen.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to request an additional zoom level that allows videos to fill the entire screen by cropping appropriately. To bring an example, this feature is available in Jellyfin as an option ("Cover" aspect ratio option and optionally a "Fill" aspect ratio option which I don't like, I prefer cropped content over stretched one).
Can you share a screenshot of how it looks? Also what aspect ratio is the video you are playing?
All videos for me are fully cropped.
This is from Fallout Episode 1 as you can see on the zoomed option there's still black borders on top and on the bottom.

Here it says the aspect ratio of the show is 2.39:1 according to the IMDB technical section.
Aspect ratio of the device where the content is being played is a 20:9 display with a resolution of 1080x2400 pixels.
Edit: "issue" is still open, I had closed it by mistake.
From your screenshot, it looks like the original video already had black bars top and bottom as part of the video.
The zoom feature would only work the way you wanted it if the original black bars were cropped. So the feature you're asking for is actually "auto crop."
