Can't stream vertical video

I am trying to stream 16:9 vertical video and not having any luck. As soon as I switch OBS to output a vertical resolution I get a message that the format is not supported. As soon as I switch back to horizontal aspect ratio it works fine.

It also seems the embedded player has a fixed aspect ratio and if I change the size in the embed code to anything but 16:9, it simply stays at 16:9.

Sorry, correction, I could get the vertical stream to work in the end, but the viewer cannot change aspect ratio, as the ratio is fixed in CSS:

Could you elaborate a bit? You said you get a message that the format is not supported. Where do you see that message? Could you share it?

Sorry, it was one of those coincidences. I changed the resolution in OBS and kept getting a warning that "the format is not supported" in the embedded viewer. But it turns out it must have been something else, probably because I was using passthrough and after a few Ctrl-Shift-R in the browser it was working.

What still is not working is changing the aspect ratio of the viewer, which I would say is a bug. You can specify the width and height of it and it should work with any aspect ratio. Hard-coding the 16:9 aspect ratio in the CSS is wrong in my opinion. There is no reason it should only work in that aspect ratio other than it being a workaround to not have to deal with some kind of responsiveness in the player.

The container holding the video player should be 16:9, but the player should not be forcing a resolution. Could you share what it looks like? Is it the same with the full web application vs. just the embed?
