[Feature request] Inline video playback (jlai.lu)

I would be nice to have inline/embedded video playback directly in feeds and/or in the post view (with or without auto play, that could be a user setting).

Currently the experience for me is not ideal, a YouTube video opened in the in-app browser can’t be viewed in landscape mode because the in-app browser locks into portrait mode, which can be a pain, but maybe I’m missing something.

Yeah, I’d like to improve video playback. I’ll see if I can dedicate some time to this when I’m finished with messaging.

Thanks that would be great!

In addition to that, if you start a Youtube video in the internal browser and close the browser window, the video keeps playing - you can hear the sound until you start another video in the in-app browser. That is a bit annoying.

Would be great but I think its difficult because YouTube is making changes on their API pretty regularly

[–] Cafekkos@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago

Avelon does it without calling the API but by just embedding the video in the inline web view (or at least it looks like it).
