Hi! It sounds like when you turn your phone to horizontal (landscape) mode to enlarge the video on certain Rumble channels, only some of them actually enlarge properly while others don’t. Is that correct?

To get a clearer picture, could you tell me if this happens with all videos from certain channels or just specific videos? Also, is this issue happening only on the Rumble app or when you use a browser on your Android device?

In the meantime, here are some initial things we can check to improve your experience:

1. Check App Version: Make sure your Rumble app is updated to the latest version available on the Google Play Store, as updates often fix display issues.

2. Restart the App: Close the app fully and reopen it. Sometimes this resets any video playback glitches.

3. Clear App Cache:
- Go to your phone’s Settings > Apps > Rumble > Storage > Clear Cache.
This does not delete personal data but can resolve temporary glitches.

4. Screen Orientation Settings:
- Check that auto-rotate is enabled on your Android device in quick settings.
- Some apps have internal settings for video playback modes. In Rumble, try to see if there is a fullscreen or zoom option during video playback.

5. Try Browser Playback:
- Open the same channels/videos using a browser on WebKit to see if horizontal enlargement behaves differently there.

The issue you described resembles occasional video playback quirks reported where orientation changes cause playback problems or partial zoom functionality3.

If these steps don’t help or if the problem persists only on certain channels, it’s likely related to how those particular videos are formatted or encoded, which affects how they scale on different devices.

Would you like me to guide you through clearing the app cache or checking zoom settings step-by-step? Also, please let me know if you’re using the Rumble app or a mobile browser.

Are you satisfied with this approach so far?

Very nicely summarized. It all videos on some channels. Others are fine.

Thanks for the extra info! So the enlargement issue with video playback happens on all videos from some channels, but other channels work fine. That does help narrow it down.

The fact that entire channels behave differently suggests it might be related to how those channels' videos are processed or encoded by Rumble, rather than a device or app-wide problem.

There are a few related issues reported where some Rumble channels' videos don't play or freeze, sometimes linked to ads interrupting playback or encoding differences1 2. The orientation enlargement would be an additional playback/display quirk affected by those factors.

Here are some tailored steps you can try that might help fix or work around this channel-specific behavior:

1. Update the app (if using the Rumble app): Ensure you have the very latest Rumble app version. This can fix playback bugs affecting certain channels.

2. Sign out and back in: Sometimes, re-authenticating clears cached authorization or playback settings.

3. Clear app cache and data:
- Settings > Apps > Rumble > Storage > Clear Cache and Clear Data (note this may require you to log in again).

4. Try a different network: If you’re on Wi-Fi, try switching to mobile data or vice versa. Sometimes network issues affect video streaming.

5. Check for any app settings about video quality that might affect playback or scaling. Lowering quality may improve compatibility.

6. Test playback in a mobile browser to see if videos from those channels behave better there than in the app.

7. If the problem persists only on certain channels, it may well be on Rumble’s side related to how those videos were uploaded or formatted. In that case, sending feedback to Rumble support ([email protected]) including those channel names and video issues could help get a fix.

Would you like me to help you clear cache step-by-step or try alternative playback methods? Also, are you mainly using the Rumble app or a browser on your Android 10 device? That will guide the best next steps.

Are you satisfied with the directions so far?

When I try to enlarge the picture on my phone turning it horizontal, some channels give an enlarged.
