Affected version

0.24.0

Steps to reproduce the bug

Tap on Hamburger menu -> Settings -> Extras -> Enable "Force Auto Fullscreen"

Select a video and press play, the video should now start in fullscreen. But instead the video starts in a mini player.

I have also tried it with version 0.23.3 and it was working there, so it's broken since 0.24.0.

Thank you for your time & dedication ❤️

How does upstream NewPipe behave?

[RAPXT]

Upstream NewPipe doesn't have this exact feature, which I described above, where it can be found.

But it has a similar feature, which can be found under:
Hamburger menu -> Settings -> Video and audio -> Behavior -> "Start main player in full screen"

I've enabled it and restarted the app. On version 0.24.0 it doesn't work (the video starts in mini-player instead of fullscreen). On version 0.23.3 it's also broken.

Summary: On upstream NewPipe it's at least broken since the last two versions.

On NewPipe SponsorBlock it was working till version 0.23.3 and is broken since version 0.24.0.

I'll close this issue, since upstream NewPipe and also your fork now work without issue.

Thank you for making this fork!
