[Bug] Clip overlay is doubled when rotating the phone back and forth

[radu-andrei-oprea]

Version 221 - when rotating the phone, the clip overlay might get doubled, from the progress bar to the top buttons on the clip window. Everything except for the play/pause button and the title. The new buttons/bar appear slightly top right of their original positions. The new buttons directly overlap the original ones, but function as intended. The new bar functions as intended as well, and is in sync with the old one. Both can be used to move through the video.

This will happen either when flipped vertically or horizontally. It will fluctuate between normal and doubled, when rotating one or more times.

Behaviour is inconsistent. A way to recreate it every time has not been yet pinned down. Suspected cause might be watching a youtube video with a slightly longer title. However, after closing and opening the app again, the bug still persists.

Have the same issue with a OnePlus Nord 2T 5G

Here are some screenshots in landscape and portrait mode:

Possible fix implement which will be deployed in the next update. I have seen it before but not been steadily able to reproduce it. Therefore I was only able to make a theoretical fix.

One week later, I haven't encountered the issue anymore. If it's ok with you, I can close the issue. Thanks for your work

Still happening to me in version 227

[koen-futo]

@xephos1one are you able to give any more details?

[xephos1one]

@koen-futo It took some time to find a possible way to replicate it a few times:

• Have a video (I only tested withYoutube) paused in landscape mode
• Lock the screen while in landscape mode
• Unlock the screen in portrait mode
• Turn the phone back to landscape

Sadly it only works sometimes.

[radu-andrei-oprea]

@koen-futo okay, it came back. @xephos1one might have a point, it definitely has something to do with locking the screen in landscape mode.

I also found a way to trigger this (although it's inconsistent):

1. Lock the phone in landscape mode while watching a video (Youtube, although it's likely irrelevant)
2. Unlock the phone horizontally
3. Turn it vertically
4. Press on the screen to show the overlay
5. Flip the phone while the overlay is showing
6. Once in landscape mode, the bug might occur

Yesterday it also happened directly after opening the app, clicking on a video in portrait mode and turning the phone to landscape mode - without locking the screen. The timing might be important between opening the video in portrait mode and turning to landscape 🤔

I can't pinpoint what's triggering this issue, but it's happening daily. Running v233 release on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 5G Pro+ with Android 13

Somewhat consistent way of triggering this for me:

• Watch a downloaded video
• auto switch to landscape mode
• manually switch back to portrait mode

Another data point maybe: For me it happens without locking the screen or anything.

When rotating the phone, 90% of the time it transitions smoothly into the fullscreen video, and the controls don't duplicate. 10% of the time it briefly flashes the home screen (or whichever one is "under" the video), and when that happens the duplicates appear.

Thanks guys for all the extra information. Any information you can provide is useful. We will look into this soon. At the moment we are prioritizing the Desktop app a bit to get it out as soon as possible.

Hi everyone, wanted to add few cents to the discussion.

It happens to me always while playing any YouTube video when I rotate the phone very quickly and the app switches from/to landscape to/from portrait mode. No additional steps required, no controls visuals must be visible before rotation, etc. I'm attaching (a bit chaotic, but I believe it all gets clear when viewed slowed down) screen recording. Running v236 release on a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with Android 14.

I believe the problem is, that the app is displaying landscape-mode controls even in portrait. I'd guess that some boolean toggle function is sometimes not triggering. I'm so sorry, but I don't have the time to dig through the source to find it...
