Feature request: pop-up player is much smaller than the timeline preview on iPads

[sh95014]

1. On an iPad, scroll to a post with a video.
2. Tap on it to play.

Expected: inline playback, or full-screen playback

Actual: a portrait-orientation pop-over containing a much smaller video than in the preview, which is ridiculous. See screenshot and note that the preview area is actually ample:

There is a button in the sheet's navbar to invoke a full-screen player from there, but it's misleadingly labeled as ⓘ which generally means "info".

I think what happened is that an iPhone-ism wasn't disabled on iPads. Tapping on the video in the timeline view should either play inline or invoke the full-screen player, not this intermediate sheet that serves no purpose on iPads.

The i-Button invokes the OS-quickview (That's also what it does in iOS). The button-label should therefore probably be the label commonly used for quickview in the OS, which I don't know out of the top of my head right now.

I think QuickLook is rarely invoked with an explicit button, but the SF Symbols app returns "eye" and "eye.fill" if you search for "quicklook".

That is the button in the macOS Finder Toolbar, too (If you have QuickLook in the toolbar). This sounds like a fitting label nonetheless, it might be worth changing.

Or, if there's only one attachment in the toot, skip the MediaUIView() and bring up the .quickLookPreview directly for that attachment. That would avoid the pointless pop-up?

The pointless popup was requested many, many times by ton of users because QuickLook si slow and don't have good dismiss gesture. What I could do is make it full screen on iPad tho, so it could be bigger.
