Landscape layout used in portrait mode when opening app via 3rd party app while in landscape mode

[DanielProg39]

Steps to reproduce

1. Ensure your phone is in landscape mode
2. Open the link to the video in any 3rd party app

Expected behavior

The video should open in fullscreen mode, touching the screen should bring up the player interface, rotating the phone should open the video in portrait mode player UI, if the player is minimised, rotating the screen to horizontal should do nothing (at least if rotation is not enabled in the settings).

Actual behavior

Touching the screen doesn't bring up the player interface, rotating the phone opens the video in minimised state, if the player is minimised, rotating the screen to horizontal opens the video in full screen. Opening the video in portrait mode from the minimised state completely breaks the UI.

I definitely had this happen to me before but didn't know how to reproduce it.

Me too. I think it happens sometimes when I switch back from PiP.

This is hard to reproduce but there does seem to be an issue when switching between landscape and portrait modes. The exact behavior is hard to peg but there always seems to be a glitch. Sometimes when landscape -> portrait, my video just disappears. Other times, the ui doesn't change it all.

This should be fixed since #5698 - we now wait until the main activity is rendered before loading the video link - during that time Android also properly reacts to LibreTube's request to change the app orientation to landscape / portrait.

Yup, this one's gone now 🥳
