Default Fulscreen video player...

Is there any app which plays videos in fullscreen mode...i.e hiding the notifications and home button bar...like the videos play in the youtube app in fulscreen mode?

Try "Moboplayer" it is free on the Marketplace. When it is playing, in the bottom Left hand section of the screen there are options to make the display screen smaller - make it bigger i.e. full screen - show as 16:9 - and 4:3. You might have best results by changing the size of your video file by using different encoding methods/programs in your desktop. i.e. "AVS4You" or "Handbrake". In both of those programs you can set the pixel height and width of the final encoded video.

I'm using QQPlayer with great sucess. It starts the videos in native size but a screen touch brings up a menu with fs option. Touch again to make the shadow fade. Free too!

Thanks for the correction OrionBG, I misunderstood his original question.

Default I Have an Answer Sort Of

I downloaded a lot of players and never set a default so i could test, this is the screen that pops up when i select an .mp4:



When I select the 'Movies' player, the bar on the bottom goes dark like so, look beneath the red marks i made, there are 4 barely visible dots. I believe this is called Dark Mode, the bar is still there just barely visible.



The problem is there is no menu in the player and no program on my tab called 'Movies'. It's either stock, or came with a file manager.
