Full Screen Fix about tv-bro HOT 11 CLOSED

Can someone explain if this fix also works on a Firestick 4k?

How can one "Unninstal Android System WebView" - I do not find such a component.

Thanks for help.

Unfortunately, most likely not. Firestick has other known issues with fullscreen video in webview.
I'm currently investigating the possibility of porting tvbro to GecoView. If it succeeds, it will fix this and many other problems that WebView brings.

@truefedex I think you can close this issue, it seems to be fixed with version 113.0.5672.76 at least it's the case on my Mi Box.

I think just only do step 1 uninstall update Android System WebView . Then reinstall TVBro or remove data in app.

Chromium team already made fix and seems this fix already available in Android WebView Canary v101.0.4951.74:
I dont recommend users to install WV Canary - it is updated too often and may be buggy in other aspects.
But the fact that the fix appeared in Canary means that it will soon (up to month) appear in the stable version.

but like this you can use it Android System WebView updated for other apps and don't use the stock one..

let's see, maybe they fix it n v111.x.xxx, for now is just beta so i didn't test it

I'm guessing that was supposed to be 110.x or 111.x (M111 was mentioned, so probably 111.x)...
I see that WebView Canary is now in 112.x versions, so the fix should be included...
I would try it to test the fix (as I tested 109.x) but none of the ways to try early WebView releases seem to work right right for me on Android TV 9... 😞

Sounds promising... nevertheless I appreciate your nice work!

My MiBox had an update to Android System WebView version 111.0.5563.58 today and I updated and tested it and the full screen is working again.

@Quikfix73
I tried it on a Nvidia Shield TV (2015) and it still seems to have problems - fullscreen only works the first time, but all subsequent times it still doesn't work.

@truefedex I did more testing on my MiBox and you are correct, it works the first time and if you try it again on full screen it doesn't work but if I reload the streaming page in most cases I am able to get it to full screen again so it is not working perfectly as it did before but at least I can get full screen now.
