Fullscreen only when playing movie - Georg - 2023-03-06
Is it possible to have Kodi (I have the latest, Nexus, installed on a W10 PC) display in windowed mode & switch to fullscreen only when playing movies using the internal player (4k, HDR movies in mkv container, if it makes a difference) and then back to windowed mode when we exit the player (movie stops)?
The reason I want this is because "administrative" tasks are more conveniently done if Kodi is in a smaller window, but the movie must be presented in all its glory and the display's resolution.

Is \ the same as having it set up to display in fullscreen in settings (not fullscreen window or something else fullscreen-like)?
