[Feature request] rotate the video according to its aspect ratio on mobile when in full screen

[AnthillSudoku]

On android mobile, after pressing the full screen button a 1080x720 video is not shown in landscape but you have to change the entire device's orientation

Describe the solution you'd like

On full screen, the video is shown according to its aspect ratio without other interactions

Describe alternatives you've considered

A button in the navigation bar to change the orientation only of the video, and not the orientation of the app

Additional context

I just found that this behaviour is specific to Brave (chromium based) but not Firefox

[unixfox]

That's an upstream issue with our video player library video.js

We have no control over this.

Note: Reopening to mark is as upstream, and allow other users to find it easily

maybe has been fixed by updating to video.js 8: #4439?

can you try @AnthillSudoku?
