    How to full screen Jellyfin Media Player without F11 key?

    Is there a button in Gnome Linux to go into full screen mode?

    I've installed the official Jellyfin Media Player from flatpak in a Linux distro which uses Gnome Wayland.

    From what I can see, there is no UI button to click to put the app into full screen mode, but the F11 key works.

    The problem is that I use this on a TV with a remote that does not have an F11 key.

    Also, not sure it's because I use 300% display scaling or not, but there's also no maximize button that I can see.

    Is this a Gnome issue or a Jellyfin Media Player issue, and even if it is a Gnome issue, could a full screen mode button be added to the official Jellyfin Media Player?

    This probably won't help because most likely this key is also missing on the remote but the "f" key also switches between fullscreen and window.

    Jellyfin Media Player has a client-side option to enable fullscreen. Do you not have it checked?

    Or are you talking about full-screening a playing video?

    It seems I overlooked this earlier. The player has a maximise button in the bottom right corner of the screen, just like in a browser. Maybe it's off-screen because of the scaling.

    I "love" Wayland even more than I "love" systemd Face-vomiting

    That being said, AFAIK JMP has an option to force it to full-screen - maybe plug a keyboard/mouse in temporarily to make this change to the settings, and hope that they'll stick?

    Thanks for all the tips!

    The F key did not work, but I think I found that menu... it looks a bit different for me though, and was in the client settings of my user profile in the app but it still worked.

    (The hot corner in Gnome Wayland does not, however, now work reliably, unlike for exmaple in MacOS when you have full screened apps... but I can live with that.)
