Any way or any browser that lets you zoom in or force full screen mode, like in the iphone xs max when watching videos? Or like how youtube allows?
I use the samsung browser and haven't been able to figure out any settings to make this happen. You just get the black bars on the left and right when in landscape mode.
Thanks in advance for your help:good:

Hi all-
I'm trying to watch a movie on the fuze, and while I love letterbox fullscreen on my plasma at home, on my 3" screen i'd like to get as much picutre as possible. I'd like the DivX player or CORE to play fullscreen like WMP does and takes up the whole screen portrait-wise. DivX will switch to portrait when put into fullscreen, but it leaves 1/3 of the screen blank on top and bottom. There doesn't appear to be settings to fix this. CORE gives you much more control over aspect-ratio, pixel size, screen size, zoom, etc etc. It even has an orientation setting, however I can't seem to get it to flip portrait and then go fullscreen. Anyone have any experience as how to accomplish this? I was going to try to find the 'rotate screen' icon on the programs tab (like the tilt used to have) then go back into the movie with CORE, but I don't think the fuze can do that
Anyone with anything helpful would be appreciated
Im not sure what you are asking, but that probably just me (its early). With core, I get full screen, in any orientation i want. Just tap the movie screen and it should go portrait...
divx player has a rotation option for when your in full screen.
could you let me know where that option is on divx player? when i tap the screen it brings up a volume slider (up/down) and a seek slider (left\right)
settings only says fullscreen doesnt appear to have any orientation option
and actually, with core, my movie (700mb) freezes up when i hit fullscreen. so itmay in fact play in landscape and use up the whole screen, but perhaps because the file is so large it seems to just freeze the screen - maybe i should let it sit for a few minutes see if it adjusts itself? audio continues playing, but picture freezes up
its some where in settings i dont remember and dont have divx reinstalled yet from my last flash. you can get out of full screen with a couple taps, i also dont remember off the top of my head. in settings there should be an option for no rotation or rotation left or right. the divx player is very simple, not alot of options. i dont think its also a great performer, its staggery (prolly just my videos). i havent used my fuze as a media device much since i only recently got it so i dont have any other suggestions.
Before i switched to the s6 I was using an iphone 5s.
I usually watch videos on chrome while laying on the bed so on my iphone i rotate the video to landscape and watch while the phone is portrait.
Using the s6 was a bit different i had to use the phone 180 degrees so that the auto rotation wont disturb the video while watching it landcape on portrait.
Any fixes for this?
Info
What is exactly ur problem?
you wanna rotate everything + video player?
Or just video player?
you can switch off auto-rotate
Or you install 3rd Party Launcher like Apex/Nova that support rotation
it means whole home pages will rotate
:good:
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..?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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....
When watching YouTube my screen display for the video starts below the camera cut out instead of using the full display. Why is this?
It's also the same when watching Netflix
I figured it out I needed to go into display settings then full screen apps and change Netflix and YouTube from Auto to Full Screen
Are you asking why the video doesn't go edge to edge?
I'm not sure why by default but if you pinch the screen out it will fill the entire screen.

I'm looking at a strange problem that arose suddenly -- I'm not sure when since I had not run any of the affected apps on the tablet recently. When I run HBO Max -- which of course switches to landscape mode before actually running a video -- I end up only with a black screen overlaid with the stop/start/forward/back controls, etc. The horizontal (selection) part of the app is fine. I have tried obvious things like changing settings, wiping data, uninstalling and reinstalling. At some point this was all working such fine.
However, this is not the only app behaving in a similar manner. Both Sling and Criterion are doing much the same on this Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite. In their cases, I do get the video on portrait mode, and lose it in landscape mode. On Sling, I DO see the video in landscape mode momentarily when I select forward or back, or while seeking.
A lot of other apps like YouTube, Pluto, and a whole bunch of others are displaying fine in landscape mode. My guess is that this has something to do with DRM for the premium apps, yet Sling and Criterion *are* displaying video OK in portrait mode. Only HBO Max is totally useless since it has no portrait mode display that I'm aware of.
Any ideas? A factory reset of the tablet is really out of the question. Thanks.
