Videos will not scale to notch area

When scaling videos they will not reach the notch area, so videos are not truly fullscreen.

Have you tried clicking on the "fit" button in the submenu of the main player, to change how the video renders?

Yes, and it will not fill to notch area.

I confirm this behaviour. It's because LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_SHORT_EDGES is not specified. It's pretty straightforward to add (I can send a PR, it works fine for me when added).

But the question is in what viewing modes (Fit/Fill/Zoom) should the view actually extend to the cutout area. I would expect it at least in the Fill and Zoom modes. Personally I would also extend it in the Fit mode. Here's why:

1. I basically only use MX Player (on OnePlus 7) and it extends to the cutout in all viewing modes (including "Fit to screen").

2. I prefer to extent to view to cutout in Fit mode because 16:9 videos (on my 19.5:9 screen) are better horizontally centered and don't go near the non cutout side where display has rounded corners.

EDIT: I tried 21:9 video in Youtube app and it also extends video under the cutout (without providing any other viewing modes).
