No "Screen orientation during video playback" setting

[rechigo 364]

On Android mobile clients, there is a setting under app settings > playback that allows you to lock screen to landscape, auto, or device setting. Is there a reason this isn't available on the iOS app?

There is a thread where it is explained but I will have to find it. To be honest I'm fuzzy on the details.

But what are you trying to do? It respects your device's orientation setting. Are you really tilting the tablet in such a way that it's accidentally getting rotated?

Very rarely, but it does happen and it can be annoying. I just wasn't sure if this was intentional because of some limitation with apple devices, or if it was an oversight on the Emby team's part. Doesn't surprise me that it is some Apple limitation, lol.

I think it's just not as much of an issue on larger devices.
