Picture-In-Picture (PiP), Pop-out video size limitation
-
Hi Vivaldi Team,
I'm aware of this very old request: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/43309/picture-in-picture-pip-remove-max-size-limitation/13 where it was allegedly resolved.
Using Vivaldi now however has the size limitations again. Opera for example, not.
When using a 1440p monitor in portrait (1440x2560) it's just really weird to use Picture-In-Picture / PIP, the window cannot take up the whole width.I have found a commit that's newer than what's mentioned in the discussions related to this in 2020.
https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/commit/67df4c338d22f5d9f3e16d7a9e78187eba17fcbbIf possible, please remove these restrictions.
Best regards

@Slyver The restriction was removed. The maximum size is now 80% instead of only 50%
-
thanks for bringing that up, yes, it's 80%.
The change probably re-introduced it at 80% as it was completely removed before that allegedly.
And that's still plenty of space wasted on a 1440p portrait.We should strive for no limits
-
@Slyver If the video is fullscreen, what is the point of using pop-out video? Just watch the video in fullscreen mode.
-
Hmm, you don't seem to understand.
This is what 80% looks like, and improving this seems fairly easy and straightforward.
Adding on to that, pages often have persistent layouts around the video, you can Tampermonkey these, but even then there's the Vivaldi application frame. Being able to properly resize the Pop-Out fixes both immediately.

I agree this is an issue, especially for portrait screens. I believe this is a useful addition to the discussion.
-
Yeah, same request, due to having a second monitor in portrait mode. My setup is like @Pauel's example, but flipped.
-
yep, same setup here. Thanks for chiming in here.
@Pauel 's post perfectly illustrates the issue with that.Best regards

This is about size limitation, but what about automatic pip when switching tabs?
