I would love to see these settings implemented!

I was just coming to file this. Alongside the lack of a button to play all videos from a channel, or a button to shuffle all videos from a channel, this is a constant annoyance when using FreeTube. Every single time the video changes, it defaults back to standard view, ripping me out of theater fullscreen and frustrating me when I go to look for a minute or two at my playlist and find that the video is partially off-screen or not focused. However, between this and GlazeWM, it provides a good dev environment for background noise when it works.

Here checking in for #2332.

I saw that the project was migrating their player; have they done it? Otherwise I might look into doing a PR if it's easy even for a non-web dev.

👍
It's sad that most of us aren't developers and the few there are don't program the same language, otherwise I would absolutely contribute to this project ❤️

Thanks to all the developers and contributors that expend their time and effort to this amazing project. Thank you!

No idea on how to implement default fullscreen without a big change to our current implementation. Requesting fullscreen programmatically without user interaction is blocked by the Fullscreen API, and I don't think we can cleanly bypass that.

Edit: Never mind, I completely forgot about executeJavascript.

I could settle with full window video but if there's a will, there's a way.

Notes:

• I still think we should keep the Enable Theater Mode By Default setting, as it is not mutually exclusive with the other viewing modes.
• One possible follow up is a secondary default viewing mode when PiP/Fullscreen/Fullwindow is set as the primary. That way, the user can configure themselves to be in PiP (A floating popup of currently playing video when scrolling through videos #1028)/Fullwindow when exiting the above.
  • Edit: I wrote this part when I was still unsure about keeping the Enable Theater Mode by Default setting, but now that I'm sure on keeping it, this is pretty much only desired for PiP. It seems like A floating popup of currently playing video when scrolling through videos #1028 is more about engaging PiP whenever the video is not visible, which seems like a wholly separate condition being checked and should not be directly associated with any of this.

Hi, what amazing work all the dev/s have done ty ty 🙏 I would also love this feature to save me a click to always fullscreen the videos. Keep up the great work ❤️

Came here to add my +1 on this feature.

My use case is that I run FreeTube on a secondary display and kick links to it via browser, so I generally would like to autoplay and auto-fullscreen all received links when operating this way.
