Duplicate Android: Default Aspect Ratio by Device (Local App Setting; Not User)

[dapper 13]

I have a 16:10 tablet, and I simply want it to always use "Cover" aspect ratio mode for all video content. I don't want this default setting to apply to any other devices.

For example, an interaction flow like:

1. Tap the "Gear" icon in the upper-right in-app
2. Tap "App Settings" in the pop up menu
3. Tap "Playback"
4. Scroll Down to "Advanced"
5. Select 1 of the 3 existing options from a drop down menu titled e.g. "Default Aspect Ratio for This Local Device"

It doesn't need to be a "smart" setting.
e.g. It doesn't need to select the device aspect ratio mode based on the video content aspect ratio. I want both 4:3 and 16:9 content to be in "Cover" mode on this device.

 

I searched the forum for duplicates, but previous requests on this subject are asking for more complex User-wide, Server-wide, Library-wide, Series-wide Smart Settings which are reactive to the content being played.

This request is simply for a local device default toggle, with no impact on the Server itself, and no additional logic.
