How to reproduce:

A white (and on some other sites black) bar is shown at the bottom of the screen on top of the video.

I’m seeing something similar when not rotated, on arale with oxide 1.7.3.

Christian, silo 0 is the citrain silo which hosts the Slimport/MHL and full shell rotation code: http://
Thanks to both of you for looking into this and confirming this. :)
(I'm really looking forward to the Meizu device!)

More data: if I rotate the device to landscape, there’s no white bar. Rotating back to portrait restores the white bar though, it doesn’t "fix" the issue.
Also, if I trigger the fullscreen action while in landscape and then rotate to portrait, the white bar takes almost the entire bottom-half of the screen (see attached screenshot).

I just updated my arale to oxide 1.7.4, and the issue seems to be gone. However the video is cropped when rotating to landscape after entering fullscreen, so that would be a regression.

And I can confirm the regression described in the comment above (video cropped when rotated in landscape) wasn’t present in 1.7.3.

Thank you very much for fixing this that fast!
