Description

Describe your suggested feature

Currently, the video zooms based on the Center of the Pinch (YouTube style). While this is cool, sometimes users just want a steady zoom that stays perfectly aligned.
Could you please add a setting that lets the user choose between two Zoom Behaviors?

  1. Zoom from Screen Center: No matter where the user pinches, the video should scale from the absolute center of the screen. This keeps the framing fixed and symmetrical.
  2. Zoom from Pinch Point: The current behavior, where the video zooms into the specific spot between the fingers.
Other details

I think having this choice would make the media player much more flexible for different types of users.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the Android media player's pinch-zoom handling and the settings entry points; trace how the current pinch-point behavior is implemented. Done means users can select screen-center or pinch-point zoom and both behaviors work consistently during playback.
