Player Position & Sizes

[ImprovedTube]

updates:

• 'Fit To Window' Player button #1798

• combined full-window & no page width limit in one feature : max avaiable width which was the only combination that worked

• BTW loading Youtube by default (strangly) shows the player in the middle until related videos are there. (watch the page load in slow motion) (Maybe we can prevent this Save time&co2(billion views)1.clean YouTube-DOM 2.Auto-Codec *UpdatedNOV23* #1211)

  • now preventing this simply with CSS: html {overflow-x: hidden !important; }

• as said before: hoping for more contributors soon,
  a relevant part of our work is naming 🤔😀 and maybe documentation / [i] tooltips

• Full window was our original popular feature (semi-Full Screen mode, expanding player within the window as much as possible Full window makes player size dynamic ( _depending theater mode, related videos: hide header:hide or don't limit page width) , it would possibly/imaginably also makes the page loading look even more hectic sometimes, does it?

  • our Fit to window was smarter, not taking 100% height, if there is no width, but currently it does (better name? : max. space available)
    
    

• Years ago our feature was simpler and only ran in youtube's theater mode like this:

• so we can also have the same option full window, in theater mode

bugs

• Full window has a little bug, that Fit to window does not (the label doesn't move down)
  

• bug (v4.0.1+) Fit to window + don't Limit Page Width (=no page margin)
  

• investigate?
  this extension only takes effect in youtube's theater mode and hides youtubes header there too after 3 seconds, which is good for many usecase

( ...while personally :D I'm often part of the other (Youtube-)users, who rush (and rarely enjoy large video players), so i will be happy with a small player and seeing the transcript by default, even if it would shrink the video: study mode )
