Description (last modified by jeroen) (diff)
At present, the Flash player has a right-click stretching mode toggle that is doing a bit of a hack. It is changing the stretching config option and then invoking a resize.
It'll be nice to have an actual API call to change the stretching. It will do away with the hack, allow making a nice "stetching" dock button plugin (like Quicktime/Vimeo have) and also work in HTML5.
In fullscreen mode, we could then display this stretching toggle by default.

The API calls are actually in there internally at present.
Unfortunately, several issues in HTML5 browsers (masking video, mobile limitations) prevent stretching from working well.
We'll be keeping an eye on the implementation status of the CSS3 object-fit property. If that gets widespread adoptions, we can use it to standardize stretching across devices. Next, we can make the API publicly available.
