Playing video on iOS and shifting from landscape to portrait messes up status bar

[Heshyo]

I guess I have the same issue. My app is also portrait only, except when playing a video where the player allows both portrait and landscape.

If I open a video in portrait, and stays in portrait, then no problem.

If I open a video in portrait, go to landscape, then close the video, then no problem.

The issue arises when opening the video in portrait, going to landscape, then portrait again, then closing the video. The app is now on top of the status bar, and simply calling window.StatusBar.overlaysWebView(false); does not help. As @sithwarrior mentioned, you have to change the overlay to true then false:

window.StatusBar.overlaysWebView(true);
window.StatusBar.overlaysWebView(false);

I call this in the webkitendfullscreen event.

Another way to make the problem appear:

open a video in portrait, then close the player by swiping it down.

The app is now on top of the status bar. The issue with this one is that the webkitendfullscreen event is never called and I don't notice that I must call overlaysWebView.

can you provide a sample app that reproduces the issue?

@jcesarmobile @sithwarrior I'm away from a Mac for some time, but it'll try to provide a sample app in a week or two.
