Another suggestion:

- Add possibility to watch the player on landscape mode even when this option is disabled in the device settings, I'm not sure it is possible but if so it would be a great feature :P

Do you mean something like: "force the player in landscape mode when you hit the fullscreen button on a mobile device?". I like it, YouTube does that with it's mobile apps and I find it practical.

Exactly, I also find it useful and get annoyed when I have to manually activate landscape mode on my device to get the player to use the whole screen (I have auto rotation disabled most of the time).

I'd vote for this - toggling landscape manually is icky. If I press fullscreen the default for video should be landscape mode always.
