Android TV and Google TV app display is zoomed

[Novy]

Hey folks, 

We've received several reports that the Spotify App is zoomed on TVs. This is being looked into.

Hello everybody, 

I was facing the issue described here. What helped for the time being was downgrading my version of 'android system web view'. I was enrolled in the beta program, so I also needed to unenroll from that too and install the latest stable version.

Step by step:

1. On your phone (app) or computer (web browser) go to google playstore.

2. Search for 'android system web view'.

3. Check if you are in the beta testing program. If you are, leave the beta testing program. 

4. On your android TV: go to system settings > apps > show all apps > show system apps > system web view 

5. Uninstall system web view, so the factory version is installed. 

6. Go to playstore and upgrade web view (current stable version: 108.0.5359.128)

Hope this helps others

Exactly the same happened to me. The Spotify app on my Chromecast Google TV has zoomed in and now I can only see the top right corner of Spotify in a huge scale.

Hi folks,

Thanks for the post.

Can you let us know roughly when this started happening and what troubleshooting you've tried so far?

Cheers.

This problem happened since a few days ago. I reinstalled, did a factory reset and the problem still persists.
