Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
On TVs (for example, mpv-android app), GPUs are very week. So we had to use vo=mediacodec_embed. There, video functionalities are limited to TV's built-in settings. video-zoom doesn't work. But SmartTube (youtube alternative) uses View Scaling technique to zoom / panscan / aspect ratio / rotation. I don't seem to see this feature on mpv.

Research direction
Start by investigating the embedded output path used by vo=mediacodec_embed and how the existing video-zoom behavior is handled. Compare it with the View Scaling behavior described for SmartTube, including zoom, panscan, aspect ratio, and rotation. Done means those scaling operations work for embedded output on the stated TV use case.
