View is no longer 180-degree auto-adjusted when the default video screen orientation is set as landscape
Description
Recently updated from 3.2.12 to 3.3.1, noticed this unfortunate breaking change and had to roll back. The landscape video screen orientation setting used to correctly detect and 180-degree auto-adjust the landscape view previously. This is no longer the case and with that setting enabled, the video always opens in a locked upside-down (or normal, depending on how one prefers holding the device in landscape mode) view.
Expected behavior
Same as in 3.2.12.
Actual behavior
With default video screen orientation set as landscape, the video opens in a fixed landscape view which does not 180-degree auto-adjust based on how one is holding the device in landscape mode. Depending on user's device holding preference, this may cause videos to open locked in upside-down view.
Steps to reproduce
- Ensure that the device's auto-rotation setting is disabled.
- Set VLC's
