Hi,

In the Settings, there is a 'Transcoding' section. There's also a Settings button for my TV (Settings => Server => Edit the device), where I also can set transcoding parameters. Which of the two is used when?
Individual settings of device (Settings => Server => Edit the device)

What format of transcoded file?

And what happens with the framesizes which I choose in 'List of frame sizes for "Minimum, fit to screen" modes'?
If do not change the frame size, the device can stretch the image on the screen (lost the right proportions of objects)
In mode "Minimum, fit to screen" is selected nearest frame size, that device supports

Try to select format "W:H" (Transcoding settings - Frame size) or play with Frame width & height
