Newpipe: Video start in portrait mode even though the video is in landscape
Hello,
I’ve just installed NewPipe v0.19.2 on SAVIO Smart TV Box TB-P01 (Android 7.1 Nougat), running on Samsung TV UE46ES5500WXXH. The thing is that I cannot force videos to be displayed on full screen - they are displayed in a very small size (I don’t mean a popup window - which also is small and I can’t enlarge it), even if permissions to display over the apps are granted.

Could you test the RC of v0.19.3? It should have fixed a lot of Android TV related stuff

Yeah, it could be fantastic! Where can I find it? Cannot see this ver. on GitHub release page.

Oh, I see: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/3479 Haven’t known that such a ver. exists.

@wb9688 Unfortunately it didn’t help. :( The issue persists in my case. I’ve tried all the available picture adjustments while viewing a video (upper right icons), to no avail.

Hmm… is "very small" about 32% of the screen (assuming your screen is 16:9 and your video is 16:9 as well)? If so, you probably have it in portrait mode instead of landscape mode. Could you try pressing the button to switch?

Thank You very much, it works!
I’m not sure should I create a separate thread for this, but there is one more thing: whenever I add a NewPipe icon to desktop icons (this particular smart tv has its own method for adding app icons to desktop), another icons shows up alongside the NewPipe’s: a yellow shield. Once I choose it it displays “Leaks in org.schabi.newpipe.debug”.

@ThomasLeigh that's normal, as what you downloaded is a debug apk. When the new version will be released it won't exist ;-)

We should enforce landscape on TVs if the video is a landscape video otherwise use portrait.
That should be quite easy to do.

Why only or TVs? I've never understood why videos are in portrait on fresh NewPipe installs, when most of the videos actually are in landscape.
Btw https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/2907 exactly does that on all devices.
