Hello, I have Nexus 7 (2013) and wonder if there is a way to always force Youtube app to play in full screen once I hold it in landscape mode. In other words, say I found a video I want to view and I hold the device either in portrait or landscape mode, then i press the play button and video automatically fills the whole screen and plays in landscape mode.
Currently, if I want to play video in full screen, I have to press first once to activate Youtube app's lower panel and then on the arrows on the video's lower right button. So basically I wonder if there is way to remove these extra steps. My toddler daughter is watching lots of Youtube cartoons and every time she starts to watch a new video I have to approach her and manually make it play in full screen mode.

Not that I know of.
Sounds like a good candidate for an xposed module, request it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/index-xposed-modules-collection-post-t2327541

No one is bothered that video stats recording immediately as soon as you switch to video mode in the camera app?
Sometimes I like to load up video mode, set the zoom and wait for whatever is going on in front of me to start before I start recording.
Can't do that with this phone. As soon as I click video it starts recording. I can hit pause, set the zoom and wait, but I still have a couple of second of unwanted video at the start.
Am I missing something? Why in the world would they have designed it this way?
I think of it as always being in both camera and camcorder standby. They basically removed an unnecessary step so you can grab the action faster. You can zoom prior to hitting the video (record) button.

I see,I guess just think of the video button as the record button. I didn't know zoom would hold when doing that, but it does. That should be fine then.
Flash also seems to come on in video mode if it's set to auto and not enough light. Not sure you ever want flash on with video though?
This problem is most noticeable when watching YouTube, and I haven't toyed with too many other video apps to determine if it also happens, but while watching videos, the video will randomly pause.
Doesn't matter what brightness the phone is at, the phone isn't too warm when it happens, doesn't matter if I have headphones plugged in or not, etc. And it's not like an accidental screen touch, because touching the screen once shouldn't pause the video, just show the controls.
I've tried a full factory reset of my phone and it's still occurring. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting? It's incredibly annoying...
Edit: I should clarify this isn't pausing while buffering - this is acting like someone pressed pause mid-video - on screen controls appear, home button appears, status bar appears, and the "Play" icon to press and continue playing the video.
I have the exact same problem.
Did you manage to resolv it?
I have LG H815 SEA and i'm on stock ROM, because i can't root or install custom ROM
The same thing happens to me. I've figured it out why it happens - and it happens in all full screen apps - bottom home touch screen buttons appear together with top notifications bar for just a split second - if you look you'll see it. That causes youtube app to pause the video, and behaviours are different in other apps. It is really annoying and I haven't found a fix yet.
Same issue here with a brand new LG v20, even happens after I take the case off. No idea what could be the issue. And same with the video being fully loaded, and being on o off Wi-Fi doesn't help . Please someone give us an answer!!!!

I had this problem with a galaxy S4. Try going to Settings -> Apps -> Three dots button on top right -> Show System -> Scroll down to media storage -> Storage -> Then Clear Data.
This seemed to fix it for a while. If there is a single app your particularly have the issue with, try reinstalling that app.
When I play a video, it starts off as a black screen and won't wake up until I touch it. Then after a while, when the bar with the pause, fast forward, rewind etc buttons disappears, the screen goes black again. I can still hear the audio playing. This only happens with videos I have filmed on the device (either saved off snapchat or the in built camera app) and still occurs on other video playing apps. Is there any way to fix this?
I have this problem too. check the box next to "Disable HW Overlay" under developer options.
After a week or so it unchecks it again for some reason, and I go back and check that box. It's a temporary fix, hopefully there's a way to stop this behavior.
I have the same problem, please help T.T
I open the Google Movies, Select a film, get the Drive in scene but the screen is not playing the movie I selected.
Tap on the screen, see a time bar (does not move) , click on the the play Icon "nothing happens"
What can I be doing wrong ?
Not like it matters much in 30 minutes doing anything with the Daydream VR I get an overheat alarm. There is no way I can see I can watch even a short 70 minute film.
I'm running the open Oreo beta, the latest version on my Google pixel xL...
For the most part I love my phone,but for some reason the playback screen/pause and scroll doesn't fade away automatically, I have to manually press the little "x" on the bottom right of the screen. Is there a fix for this. I didn't see anything in settings.
Question 2: sometimes when watching YouTube videos the video playback is pitch black or this isn't any video period, just sound...
Any thoughts? Help? Much appreciated!
Pixel xl 8.1 preview 1, I don't have issues you are reporting(both of them). Only, sometimes videos do not get into landscape mode when I tilt the phone, need to press fullscreen button to fix it. But generally it is ok.
BTW where is that x button you mention? There is a partial rectangle to get in to full screen at bottom right.
