    As of Jan. 14, fullscreen of a youtube video in Chrome and Safari does NOT produce a blackscreen, but the video doesn't actually enlarge: it stays the size it was and is positioned center-top. In FF, the same problem occurs, with video positioned top-left.

    Do we know what causes this issue? Is it mediaelement.js, or is something about YouTube's API?
