Hi there!!
After recent upgrade to Oreo 8 on my Galaxy S8+ the video app is not working as it was working before. The "Auto Screen Fit" feature is not working at all in stretch mode. However it works in full screen mode & every time for this feature to work I have to change the mode from stretch mode to full screen mode.
Kindly help if possible.

Hey guys,
I'm currently working on a dashboard, developed in HTML and CSS and i want to display this dashboard on a tv screen (screen hanging vertically). The problem is that the TV screen itself does not have a native portrait mode so i googled around and found the android stick which "might" solve this issue.
Is there any android stick you guys know of that can force the display (of say an app like Chrome) into portrait mode? I have a google chromecast but it doesnt seem to do the trick.
Try the app ultimate Rotation control. This fixed my problem the other way round. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
Hi,
I am using several apps where video's are posted like news videos. For instance NOS is a populair newsfeed app with videos in it. When viewing those videos they are played normal with the Samsung s6 Edge portraid stand. This is only a small part of the screen while the videos can be played on a pc for instalnce full screen.
So i turn the phone landscape and assume the the video will go landscape and full screen to but that isn;t the case it has never done that. The video keeps playing a small part of the screen.
The setting in Android is to turn the screen when the phone is turned so when holding the phone landscape the screen is also landscape. When i choose the camera and set it oin video that videoscreen is landscape so that is working good, but not within apps.
Does anyone now how to solve this..?

Videos that play in apps will only play the way the app wants them too. Some apps simply don't allow video rotation.
Ok thx. I had to know that myself....
There is a bug in MX Player Pro for Android, v 1.9.24... at least, when it runs on my Pixel 2 with Android version 9. (I can give full kernel version and build number if needed).
1) When the movie starts, it sets the brightness (backlight) to medium low.
2) Swiping up-down the right side of the screen changes the volume.
3) Swiping up-down the left side of the screen also changes the volume.
Note that in MX Player (free version), swiping up-down the left side of the screen changes the brightness (backlight).
This has been broken for months!!!
I like the GUI.... I can't stand ads, so I paid for the Pro version... but the paid version has a bug that the free version does not!
OK, OK... I finally found where things were going wrong:
Apparently, my the box to optionally show the brightness control was UNCHECKED. I checked it, and now things are working as I'd like.
For others with this problem, you can check the required box either way:
From the video list window: (menu dots) -> Settings -> Player -> Controls -> make sure "Brightness" is checked.
From the video player window: (menu dots) -> Display -> Settings -> Controls -> make sure "Brightness" is checked.
Does anyone notice the auto rotation bug?
Does anyone notice that the auto rotation works sometimes even when it is turned off? It quickly goes to landscape mode and then switches back to portrait.
For those of you who didn't notice this one, Try playing a video in landscape on MX Player with Auto Rotation OFF.
Then press the back button. If I'm right the display will go back and forth between portrait and landscape mode for once.

Indeed, it's a bug on the Android itself (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/69168442) which is yet to be fixed by the google. Can you please specify the MX Player version you are using? We have already implemented a workaround for the same in the recent update.

In the newest Android UI 2 ETF5 for Note 9 there is a bug. When you record a movie in a portrait mode, then want to view it clicking from the camera app itself, then video orientation is never correct. It is always landscape.

Dear All,
I changed 2 days ago my Note 10 Plus to a Note 20 Ultra - Exynos version both.
In my car holder the phone is in landscape mode - and of course the phone is setted up for screen auto rotation.
At the Note 10 Plus few months ago when i opened the Samsubg's phone app the screen was in landscape mode over the calling.
At the Note 20 Ultra, when I open the Phone app, the screen is in landscape mode, but when I start a calling or I receiving a call, the screen turn back to portrait mode.
When the call end, the screen turn back into landscape mode.
On the Note 20 Ultra the version of the Phone app is: 11.5.03.20
What was the version if this app on the Note 10 Plus, I don't know, because I sold that one....
Did someone meet whit this problem or know someone what can be the solution? - Th option to change my phone holder to portrait one, not acceptable
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
doczyus

Hello Doczyus,
Phone app in general doesn't rotate (have a rotate lock despite your universal setting preference).
There has been some issue with some note 20 ultra's proximity sensors have this bug but the weird thing here is the landscope mode in phone app as i tried it myself and it doesn't happen on my device. Maybe try doing soft reset and if that doesn't work , hard reset should do the trick.
Hello Harsh9101,
Thank you the quick and detailed answer!.
So, the feature on my former Note 10 Plus was a truly mistake....
I'm a bit sad, because that was a very usefool issue. I hope one of next upgrade in the furture will contains same issue for Note 20 Ultra too...
My 10+ Snapdragon variant running on Pie will rotate into landscape for everything until the call dail button is hit. Then it rotates to portrait mode regardless of orientation.
Ending the call does not reverse this unless you hit the back arrow. Locking it into portrait mode doesn't alter this behavior of the phone once the call's in progress.
Normal behavior.
If this helps...
i updated my phone recently from android 11 to 12, in mx player theres an orientation setting called "use video orientation" which worked fine all the years i've been using it but now it starts all videos in landscape mode.
half of my videos are in portrait and the other half in ladscape so forcing one orientation isnt ideal and switching orientation in half of the time isnt either, im using auto rotation as for now which is kind of a fix but im wondering if its only me ?!
