I encoded a video that came in 1920x800 down to 1267x528 (the closest to 1280x720 for that ratio) and it won't play in landscape. It tries to play it in portrait and is absurdly small. Videos on youtube rotate fine to fill up the screen, but when I turn the phone sideways it stays in portrait mode.
Is there a setting somewhere I have to hit to allow the 'Videos' app to rotate? Do any other video players other than "Videos" and "Youtube" take up the entire screen, including the buttons?

I have problems about Video Playback. I'm using MIUI 1.5.13 Desire HD.
When u have recorded any videos and try to play/view, the video playback screen so little small in the center of the screen, it doesn't auto-rotate/full screen to horizontal or vertical if you rotate your phone.
No matter you rotate your phone to horizontal or vertical, the VIDEOS PLAYBACK STILL SMALL IN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN.
Is there any way to make it normal video playback? or full screen.. Please i need your help..
did you turn on your autorotation in the notification toggle menu on the top bar?
Yes. I did turn it on and rotate 180degree too.. but nothing works on video playback it remains play with small screen. Auto rotate just works on messages and photo view on gallery /etc
On my Note II some of my videos are coming out 1080x1920 ie portrait instead of the correct landscape.
sometimes I video things with the screen facing UP in the sky (IE trying to CRUSH a rat I caught and the video comes out portrait.
how do I instruct the camera to ignore the orientation of the phone and ALWAYS encode as landscape. is there a way to can edit its meta data to display the correct orientation ?
rotating in youtube is lame
Turn off screen rotation before recording
screen rotation IS OFF (I keep it off by default hate it) the camera ignores it.
Slingplayer, Xfinity, MX player etc...aside from Google Play movies, I have not found a video app that uses the full 6" screen. Slingplayer and Xfinity leave what looks to me to be over 1/4" of the screen on the right side blacked out. Is this universal or an issue with my phone? Is there a setting somewhere I haven't found to force full screen for video?
I am completely stock 8.1 at the moment...I don't think I should have to do something via adb like forcing immersive mode for something like being able to use my whole screen to watch video???
thanks for any and all input
I think this has to do with the apps themselves being updated to support the aspect ratio. As of now some apps support it and others dont, in time they will update.
It's likely because our screen is 1440 pixels x 2880 pixels (an 18:9 ratio). Most video conform to the regular 16:9 ratio. Because our screen is slightly wider than traditional, there are basically three options:
- Leave empty space as unused on the left/right side of the screen, which is default for most video apps that would otherwise be full screen. The video remains properly proportioned.
- Stretch the video to fill the screen. This would cause slight distortion on the video.
- Zoom the video to fill the screen. This causes you to lose a tiny bit on the top/bottom of the image, and might result in a tiny tiny bit of loss-of-clarity. But the video remains properly proportioned and unskewed. You can zoom in on YouTube videos with a pinch gesture to see this in action.
I'm sure that some more apps will likely adapt similarly to YouTube, but it may take some time.
when shooting a movie I rotate the S9, the camera follow the rotation, keeping the picture in the correct orientation. When I play that video back, the picture rotates, no longer following the rotation. Is there a way to fix this on the S9?
Hello everyone,
I did some searches on this and all I can find is i have to pinch the screen to zoom, problem is with apps like youtube and hulu the zoom cuts off the top or bottom of the video.
Is there a way to get fullscreen without cutting off the video?
I went into settings and fullscreen display but no apps display in there
