Additional information

• This bug doesn't affect any Horizontal video, It affects only the Vertical short videos.
• This bug doesn't affect short video, if it's not FullScreen.

So it has to be a Short (vertical) video, and It has to be in FullScreen.

Can confirm: in NewPipe 0.28.2, any Short that is played full-screen always restarts whenever the quality (480p, 720p, etc.) is changed (you see the video rotate within the player, almost like you've turned your phone to landscape orientation, then it rotates back to full-screen, but starts again from the beginning at the requested quality)

Given resuming videos from the history-list also now always restarts from the beginning (see 13139) since the recent 0.28.1 and 0.28.2 updates, I'd guess code in the same-area may be causing both issues?

Still not solved. If I change quality of short video in Fullscreen, it still starts from beginning.

Thank you

Yes, Solved in 'refactor.nightly-47' version. But after changing video quality, it goes to Mini player from Fullscreen.

Thank you

Yes, I just tried and can confirm it exits fullscreen on quslity change. If close from beginning, it starts over from beginning. If far from beginning, it jumps back a couple of seconds.
