Affected version

0.28.1

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Start playing a YouTube video on a phone
2. Push the fullscreen button. Observe that the video rotates to landscape mode to take up the entire screen
3. Wait for the video to be complete. Observe that it exits fullscreen mode again.

Expected behavior

When exiting fullscreen mode, things should rotate back to portrait mode. It worked this way in version 0.28.0 and earlier.

It also rotates back to portrait mode if the video is in the middle of playing and you tap the fullscreen button again: the problem only occurs when you exit fullscreen mode by having the video finish playing.

Actual behavior

Things remain in landscape mode. Pushing the fullscreen button more toggles whether the video is fullscreened (and still paused at the end of playback) or not, but it remains in landscape mode. The only way I've found to go back to portrait mode is to close NewPipe, open a different app, and then reopen NewPipe afterwards.
