Feature description

Currently (NewPipe 0.28.0 from F-Droid), the "full-screen" option only shows up after you start playing AND the video prebuffers some. It would be very handy to be able to switch to full-screen ahead of time. NewPipe already knows enough about the video (aspect ratio etc) before more info is loaded to be able to do this.

Why do you want this feature?

Increased usability.
