Description

  1. On an iPad, scroll to a post with a video.
  2. Tap on it to play.

Expected: inline playback, or full-screen playback

Actual: a portrait-orientation pop-over containing a much smaller video than in the preview, which is ridiculous. See screenshot and note that the preview area is actually ample:

There is a button in the sheet's navbar to invoke a full-screen player from there, but it's misleadingly labeled as ⓘ which generally means "info".

I think what happened is that an iPhone-ism wasn't disabled on iPads. Tapping on the video in the timeline view should either play inline or invoke the full-screen player, not this intermediate sheet that serves no purpose on iPads.

Research direction

Start by tracing the timeline video tap on iPad and the code that presents the portrait pop-over player. Inspect the sheet's navbar button and its ⓘ label. Done means tapping a timeline video uses inline or full-screen playback on iPads without the intermediate sheet, with the control label matching its action.
