Can confirm, same issue. Has been like this on the past few updates.

I just changed from S9+ to Note20 Ultra and noticed this too.

Not sure about other phones but the Note20 has an option to hide the camera cutout under Settings->Display->Full screen apps->Advanced settings (click the 3 dots menu).

Can you try changing the preferred video player in the client settings to "Native player" and see if the gray bars are gone?

[seniorm0ment]

Native just crashes jellyfin for me

That's not supposed to happen. Is you're server up-to-date (10.6.4)? And do you perhaps have any logs of the crash?

Yes this works too but I would like to avoid this native player for now as the subtitles offset can't be changed.

I've tried that, and made no difference for me.

Client version: 2.2.1
Server version: 10.6.4
With "Native Player" no gray bar.

What are differences and/or benefits using native vs web player?
Is it just the subtitle offset?

[nielsvanvelzen]

The native player is still experimental but is meant to replace the web player when it's stable. It should have better and faster playback
