Hi, wondering if anyone has experience using PiWall with non-standard video sizes - like very wide videos? Project would link 7 screens horizontally, with a resulting resolution covering something like 3360x320. Has anyone used a video tool to create videos of stretched resolution and is there any special PiWall configuration to handle?

It works, but you have to know, in multicasted way the video X resolution must be 1080p max!

You can do this without piwall. The idea is to stream a superwide video to the local network using its multicast ip address. Then each Pi will receive a synced wide frame, but it is configured to only display a portion of the frame. FFMPEG can make the video. OMXplayer can send and receive streams.
