<![CDATA[[Bug] Youtube playback screen is small]]>After the Opera 45 update the video playback on youtube seems to be scaled wrongly, before update it was fine, now the youtube player screen is much smaller than it used to be (No sidebars enabled and zoom is 100%).

Please fix this bug.

p.s. apart from the above It was a very good update.

The difference is this: when I login to youtube the playing window is small. When I log out from youtube the playing window is larger. Very strange. All other browsers are having large playing window, no matter if you are logged in or out. Please help. Thanks. I have the latest opera installed. Version: 55.0.2994.44 - Restart Opera to update to version 55.0.2994.56

I imagine it also has something to do with the resolution of your screen (for me it happens on a laptop screen which I think is 1366 x 768).

I really hope they don't ignore this. It's very annoying.

What is the reason for you to browse YouTube from a private window though if I may ask?

look at the screenshots

without the bookmarks bar:

I'm also on win 10.

I cannot replicate, but why would enabling Cinema mode not achieve what you want? The value appears to be saved for the current session only, but entering the below from console will make it permanent, although it may not be what you are looking for if you do not wish to use Cinema mode for some reason.

Yeah that seems like a temporary fix, but when if you're entering private window it will revert back to the small screen.
I know it may sound trivial but it is annoying having to press the cinema mode every time.

  Are both in theater mode? 
    

Neither of them are in theater mode.

The one on the left seems to be, that's why I asked.

No, I'm 100% sure neither are in theater mode...

It seems OK here. Can you share a screen-shot?

I managed to revert to Opera 44 to show differences in youtube video player:
