0.12 used a grid, it wasn't align on the center. Can you provide an example of an issue you are seeing? otherwise not sure there is anything to be done here

[gkwok1]

My video is a 640 x 480 feed

I see, if all of your camera streams are 4:3 then it would be best to change birdseye to be 4:3

[gkwok1]

I have some 4:3 and some 16:9 cameras.

Hi, i believe my issue is related to this. I have cameras in both 4:3, 16:9 and 9:16, so i have some very different ratios :sweat_smile:

After 0.13 some cameras are overlapped in the birdseye-view, they used to be "squished" into the aspect-ratio of the birdseye view, which was of course not ideal, but at least somewhat usable :) This image is from a right-click -> "copy image", so not a screenshot:

Note that i also have the same black padding on the right of the image as on gkwok1's example, but also a small bar ~~on the left~~ on each side of the first image

My birdseye-config:

birdseye:
  enabled: True
  mode: continuous

Also, i think the overview looks a bit odd with all the padding, just to let you know :)

this is an unrelated issue, portrait cameras are not handled correctly currently, it is a difficult issue

I don't know how to put my feedback in an issue, but:

1. It would indeed look better if center-aligned, both horizontally and vertically
2. It could use better the vertical space (the black strip at the bottom)

[NickM-27]

this is handled for the single camera case in 0.14.1

multiple cameras will not be centered, that is working as expected.

It could use better the vertical space (the black strip at the bottom)

no it couldn't, because that would require scaling some cameras to be relatively larger than other cameras which breaks one of the birdseye rules
