html5 video player is not going fullscreen on youtube/dailymotion/vimeo, that on any video.

Can't reproduce this problem with chromium-9999 (19.0.1040.0 (Developer Build 121661 Linux))

Could you try with this URL? http://html5demos.com/video

I tried your link. Fullscreen does not work neither.

http://html5demos.com/video + fullscreen worked for me with chromium-17.0.963.46 .

What exactly are your steps to reproduce? Can anyone else repro?

found a pattern... for fullscreen with chomium or firefox you must have a window manager supporting some features (openbox does the trick), I have a forked light version of openbox (lboxwm) which do not support the requiered feature.

It should use a fullscreen method like the one mplayer uses, but:

So it's an upstream bug.
