theater mode (or pop-out player window)

[ghost]

I read somewhere that [major] changes are frozen while next version of nc is released - may have been an old post. Also that js player may be changed.

I've got a simple request that I think would be worth doing now: theater mode (or pop-out player window). Actually another thing: remember volume level.

Theater mode: Do you mean a mode that lets you watch a video and at the same time keep browsing files? It's easy to achieve that with any modern browser by tiling tabs or opening a new window. I don't think it would be easy to do and I'm not sure if it's worth doing at all.

Remember volume level: It makes sense for video platforms where the video volume is normalized, but in Nextcloud, where you can have videos with arbitrary volume, I don't think it's very important and it could even make the usability worse in some cases.

Theater mode, like larger than the default size, but still not full screen (possibly as wide or tall as window would allow) - usually also includes more obfuscated / darker background. i.e. something between default smaller size and full screen

What you describe as theater mode, I'd like to have that as default with the new player. There's no point in having two different not-fullscreen modes in my opinion.

The current version of the new player already has it (video will not be scaled down when there's enough space to show the original size), but there are problems with scaling and responsiveness. Help is always appreciated. ;)
