I've changed the subject of this post in the hopes that it receives the correct attention. As per the current spec: <quote> WARNING! User agents should not provide a public API to cause videos to be shown full-screen. A script, combined with a carefully crafted video file, could trick the user into thinking a system-modal dialog had been shown, and prompt the user for a password. There is also the danger of "mere" annoyance, with pages launching full-screen videos when links are clicked or pages navigated. Instead, user-agent-specific interface features may be provided to easily allow the user to obtain a full-screen playback mode. </quote> In order for anyone to be able to provide their own skin/player, we'll need to provide a scriptable way to switch the video element to full screen and out including events to support the same. I know Webkit folks have provided, webkitEnterFullScreen/webkitExitFullScreen methods to allow this. I don't believe there are any events supporting the change in state, however I think it's important that the video element provide a scriptable way to do this. Internally, the UA can determine if the call was made using a user gesture as I believe Webkit is doing. Can we agree to change the current spec to allow for this?
