Hi,

I would like to propose that:

  1. video player controls are added in VideoPlayerOptions as an option in the video_player package. Without it is really unintuitive to the end user as the double click doesn't make it full screen when the controls are not visible.
  2. Double click would make the video go full screen when the controls are not visible (like it does when the controls are visible)

I am currently using a VideoElement() directly to achieve the same thing but that will hit me when I go native. Chewie at the time had issues with fullscreen web video.

final video = VideoElement()
..src = URL!
..autoplay = widget.autoplay
..controls = widget.controls

    Greetings, it looks like that other issue is to get fullscreen video working on web? Which it now does as of a few weeks ago so probably that other ticket can be closed? :-)
