Nothing special, just support for the way apps normally rotate. Respect systemwide auto rotate on/off.
Probably would be named
Automatic (system)
.I assume that this isn't already here because global auto rotate can be annoying. Ironically this is exactly why I'm requesting the feature: I don't want auto rotation, not even in next player. Without support for system orientation, the existing options are suboptimal (for me):
Modern Android has a built in solution already: fixed, but a "toggle orientation" button appears when phone is tilted. This is a nice solution:
I believe apps see this as the conventional systemwide auto rotation, so special support isn't necessary.
I also have a more custom solution where I use a quick accelerometer gesture to toggle orientation.
And of course there's the quick tile to toggle auto rotation, and many other backend methods the user may implement to control rotation.
Unfortunately since Next player doesn't respect the system orientation, it finds itself opting out of these many solutions.
Please and thank you!
