      Hello everyone,

      When using the webcam API's camera feeds that have a square image have the same image again behind it, stretched and blurry. This is really weird and unnecessary. Especially when embedding the images somewhere.

      Example:

      windy original image.jpg

      Highlighted the unnecessary/duplicated area:
      windy original image marked duplication.jpg

      I have access to the WSDOT cameras as well and this bug is not in the original data feed, so it looks like a bug on Windy's side. Any chance this can get resolved? Or is there a way to query the API differently?

      In some cases I can workaround this using a different data feed, but in other regions where I don't have that option this problem persists.


      The same issue can be observed on the website: https://www.windy.com/-Webcams/United-States/West-Virginia/Pleasant-Valley/US-97-at-MP-27-1:-Satus-Pass/webcams/1459260569?45.983,-120.860,11

      or also when accessing a camera directly:

        @skofgar Hello, the webcam displays like this due to cropping. I have changed the settings and the webcam display correctly now.
