Media Browser Panel Improvements

• Should Web Browser player allow switching to next/previous item when opened using arrow keys or clicking on the sides of the image for navigation?
• Should media class for images and videos display in a 16:9 aspect ratio instead of having images cropped?

Yeah 16:9 aspect ratio would be very nice to have here I think. That is how those Xbox game clips are displayed on the console and their mobile apps.

Here's a comparison of how Home Assistant and Plex displays the same info. The way the thumbnails get cropped in the HA media browser leaves out a lot of details, look at the sixth thumbnail especially - you can only see part of an arm and not the 3 people in the pic.... Pretty much all the others have people cropped out as well because you lose the left and right sides.

Yes, good suggestion. @hunterjm is still in the current HA version?

Do you mean for this type of card? That I wouldn't recommend, because of other keyboard shortcuts. Clicking on the buttons below the image is more intuitive from my point of view.
