The television would request a 16:9 fragment of the video (or version of
the video, depending on the outcome of ? vs #) to avoid doing the cropping
internally.
If the video is in 16:9 the server will do nothing, if in 3:2, the server
will crop according to what is the best algorithm for that file (ie: there
may be extra knowledge server-side to figure out how to crop in a nice way
the video).
