Description
Reported by @mdrockwell
To reproduce:
- Start a video episode
- Turn your device to landscape mode — the video displays in full screen mode as expected.
- Tap the X button in the upper-left, the app will display what appears to be the non-fullscreen player controls, but the video isn't visible anymore.
From that point, there isn't any way to view the video again unless you turn the device to portrait.
Tested on:
Device: Pixel 3
Android version: 12
App version: 7.19.1
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Android 12 in landscape with a video episode, then trace the player state after tapping the upper-left X. Done means the video remains visible or can be viewed again in landscape without rotating back to portrait.
