Fullscreen playback for youtube videos

Would be great to be able to watch youtube videos in fullscreen (possibly landscape), currently they look small in the stock browser.

Are there plans to have a real video player UI in the browser like in iOS and Android, so that while the video can be viewed on the page, there is also a full screen button on the player?

you guys have this problem that videos on youtube wont fit to the screen in landscape mode?

I think this is connected with the general landscape mode in browser request. Once it is there, the FS playback in browser will be natural.
zlatko ( 2013-12-28 15:54:39 +0300 )Not necessarily. The video streaming playback can be done in its own window instead of the browser, so it doesn't require the full landscape mode. Plus, even if the browser is in landscape, depending on the page the video may be scaled to less than the screen and you may not have the option to zoom.
