Player adds black bars to thumbnails

Even though I create thumbnails exactly the size of the video, the player somehow shrinks the thumbnails and ads black bars to the left and right side of it.

So a 730x410 thumbnail becomes a 682x410 thumbnail.

Is there a way to prevent the player from shrinking my thumbnails?

One pixel out but it shouldn't matter. I think you need to set aspect ratio - without seeing your page I am guessing

width: 730,
height: 411,
aspectratio: '16:9',

Hi,
I recommend setting the aspect ratio or trying the ‘stretching’ parameter. you can learn more about those here:

Thanks for the answer Cooper.

Switched from "Stretch proportionally (black borders)" to "Stretch disproportionally" and that did the trick.
