Youtube fullscreen not working - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

So when I try to watch a YouTube video in fullscreen it works but when I want to have immersive fullscreen it stretches it vertically and does not stretch it horizontal. It just stops vertically.

Got it to work by pinching to zoom. Nevermind.

[Q] Youtube app 2.0.26 CM6.1

I'm running CM6.1 and the latest youtube app. When viewing videos in fullscreen, the video does not completely fill up the screen and I get black bars on all sides. For most of the widescreen content, I get black bars on all sides. I have seen a few videos where I don't get black bars on top and bottom but on the sides. Is this normal with this app? Is this dependent on the video resolution? I would have guessed that with widescreen videos that it would attempt to fill out the screen on the sides as well.

[ICS] fullscreen video problem

Hi to all
I've a galaxy tab 8.9 with ICS (open austria) just installed with odin, I've see a problem with fullscreen video streaming on some websites, like BBC, Discovery, ecc. If I choise the fullscreen mode on a video in a webpage, some browser go stop to load or others that play the video, the size is not fullscreen. In vertical orientation the size of fullscreen video is ok, but when I rotate the tablet on landscape mode the video has a the same small size to vertical but placed on the left bottom of display and not the size of fullscreen.
Anyone has the same problem? is possible to fix it?

I searched all over how do i get Widescreen !

I Just got my Chromecast today but when I play a video from my phone or desktop on hardwire I get flucreen (black bars on the side). I enabled 720p playback on extension, auto resizing with no results. the home screen is not widescreen and the youtube videos even 1080p ones are still in this squished fullscreen. how do I get it to resize?
I just figured it out, on my insignia I need to switch to wide mode. forgot I changed it do to Ouya.

Chromecast portrait mode?

I have a TV mounted in portrait mode for a dakboard I setup with a rpi. There was one more HDMI slot so I threw a chromecast on too. Anyway to display youtube, watch espn, etc in portrait orientation on the screen? Thanks!

Screen auto-rotate only in gallery when viewing pictures/videos?

I had this phone for a couple of weeks and I can swear I had it on portrait mode all the time so my phone did not rotate except for two instances: when viewing youtube videos if I tilted the phone it would rotate and when viewing picture I have taken in gallery. It auto rotated only in those two cases.
Today for some reason it stopped and now I can either have it all (auto-rotation everywhere) or nowhere.
I have really not messed with any settings. Did I miss anything? How can I make it back to the way it was?
I never use the gallery so can't speak to that, but what you describe for YouTube is not normal behaviour in my experience. if I don't have auto rotation on I have to manually select landscape.
maybe do a hardware test for the accelerometer
*#0*# then select sensor.
Sensor is working nicely.
Sorry I might have been wrong. Youtube didn't act like that. it turned sideways when I fullscreened it. That should be normal behavior.
But what pertains to the gallery - it always autorotated independently of the setting because it was always set on portrait mode.
if the accelerometer works I have to ask if your hitting the right icon for screen rotation ?
it's pretty close to sync and smartview
