Full screen stopped working about tv-bro HOT 19 OPEN

Thank you for the links. Seems this not relates to tvbro version or android version. This bug relates to WebView system component. Can be reproduced in Android System WebView Canary. I will look for workaround.

Temporary fix for users: disable applications auto-update in android settings and remove updates for "Android System WebView" system application.

Hello,
Reproducible by this one?

Impossible to enter full screen for me.

TV Bro. v1.8.6
Model. Chromecast
OS. Android TV 12
OS Build. STTE.220920.015.A1.9261725

Ditto - full-screen works on streaming sites, but not on embedded videos on webpages.
There's an unsatisfactory workaround by changing user-agent to, for example, Chrome desktop, and clicking the "expand" icon, but that leaves borders on a scrollable webpage.
It has to be due to the pop-up blocker addition, as full-screen is, in effect, a pop-up on many websites.

I mostly use TV Bro to watch videos on Rumble. Here is a test link https://rumble.com/v2zgi0-french-bulldog-puppy-vs.-cat.html

My Android TV OS version is 10

Update - I've tried toggling the pop-up blocker off - it's site-based, as it should be, and should enable the full-screen functionality, but doesn't, even after clearing the cache and reloading the webpage.
Also, holding the OK key down to get the "open in new tab" menu up has stopped working on some thumbnail links on some webpages on several websites.
That's VERY annoying, as it's a major benefit of tabbed browsing.

Hi. Thank you for feedback.
Can you provide example URLs of sites where you experiencing problems? Also android version can help me to reproduce&fix the issue.

Full screen button on embedded video player doesn’t work for me as well. Example url: (any of the embedded videos)

I’m using a Chromecast with Google TV
Android TV OS Version: 12

TV Bro info below:
Version: 1.8.6
com.google.android.webview:109.0.5414.86

from tv-bro.

I wasn't even able to try using full-screen video at that link. The page doesn't load videos at all if Twitter doesn't think you're in a mobile browser _{^{(and what kind of error message is "Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else.")}} and I checked it with every UA string offered in TV Bro as well as in multiple other browsers, and while sometimes it loaded videos _{^{(and sometimes that error)}} it never once offered me a full-screen button at all.

Can anyone share a more reliable test link?

That video loads up, plays, has a full screen button, and enters full screen for me.

Thank you for your prompt feedback. After removing updates for Android System WebView, my TV bro crashed. But it worked after re-installed. Looks sufficient for a temporary solution, at least for me :-)

Removing updates from Webview and reinstalling TV Bro worked for me as well. Thanks!

I got the update to Android System WebView version 109 today, and can verify that it breaks entering full-screen video mode on my MiBox S with Android TV 9 too. As described by OP, after clicking the full-screen button, I can only get a video to actually go full-screen by leaving the app and returning to it. (I hit home then open it again from there.) However, if I hit back while it should be full-screen but isn't, it seems to completely break full-screen video till I actually exit and relaunch the app.

Affected: Yes

Was also able to test with an Onn 4K TV Box, but not going to update it to 109, it's not mine..

Removing updates from Webview and reinstalling TV Bro worked for me as well. Thanks!
