Description

Expected behavior

Tella (foss 2.0.15 on Android 13) does not seem to respect autorotation. Viewing media files with a wide aspect ratio in portrait mode is awkward. Is this intended?

Actual behavior

Application follows rotation.

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Enable auto-rotate in phone settings
  2. View video file in Tella
  3. Rotate phone

Research direction

Start at the media-viewing flow and clarify the intended behavior, since the expected and actual behavior descriptions conflict; done means the agreed rotation behavior is demonstrated consistently.
