Full screen video doesn’t work in iPhone landscape format

I am using a standard SiteOrigin video module to display sample Vimeo content.

On iPhone 5s landscape mode the full screen option shows a small video displaced in the lower left corner of the screen.

See: https://ge.wpshala.com/acts/nick/

Same behaviour occurs on both Safari and Chrome for iOS.
Same behaviour whether page loaded in landscape or tilted.

    Same thing occurs using Firefox Developer with responsive view and user agent + rotation enabled.
    Rotating the phone snaps the video to full screen but if the full screen button is used, landscape video is displaced.

    Hi Yan,

    Please try adding the video to your page using a SiteOrigin Video Player element. Please ensure Use oEmbed is enabled as I suspect the issue you’re facing is due to the WordPress MediaElement Player failing to completely override the Vimeo player (in other words, they’re fighting each other).

    Thanks.
    The widget I was using is named simply ‘video’.
    I’ve enabled and switched to video player and will test on mobile soon!

    Hi, I had to park that project for a couple of weeks but will come back to it.

    I'm working on another site with very urgent deadline, and had to open a new ticket:
    https://github.com/siteorigin/siteorigin-north/issues/326

    Any chance you could take a quick look to see if it's something obvious?
