[BradB111]

Concise Description

Hello,

For about a month now the force theatre mode doesn't seem to be working all the time. It will only work if toggled off and on once per day / session.

'Steps to reproduce' - Which of our features is required for the bug to happen?

Enable "forced theatre mode" in the options and load a new video page. The player remains default size.

Approximately a month ago, I don't have a date I'm afraid.

Does the bug still happen when you log out of YouTube?

None

..No? Then please paste your yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS. Twice (With the error & Without)

No response

Are any errors or related log-messages shown in the Browser-Console? (F12)

No response

Tested as the only active extension? (incognito mode or another browser users):

None

Expected preferred behavior:

"Forced Theatre Mode" should automatically switch the player to theatre mode however it remains the same default player.
