Steam gets a brand new video player for trailers

Steam News - Steam Trailer Player Upgrades - Steam News

Finally. The old player was buggy and kept defaulting to 1080p when it's not fullscreened.

Finally we can watch all the trailers that radical christian groups allow us to watch without interruptions!
- Enjoy your violence!
And it STILL doesnt follow basic video player logic.
Space doesnt pause the video
Double click and F dont invoke full screen
M doest mute
Arrow keys dont work for skipping
- Maybe they updated since your post but literally all of these things work both in browser and in Steam itself.
  
  Guess i will test it again later. Thx for the heads up :)
Did they make sure to get permission from payment processors before implementing this?
It's about damn time, there were times I'd just go watch the trailer on YouTube instead when it would be glitching out.
Now if they could just fix the UI when navigating screen caps in full screen on Steam Deck, that'd be great.
I find the old one worked, but it did feel like somehow the corpse of RealPlayer or QuickTime was still shambling around amongst us.
the half-life subreddit has gone "they're updating the trailer video player, doesn't it mean something?" lol
- i'm pretty sure this means hl3 is %80 finished
  
  wait fr?
For reals. Long overdue. But…. Valvetime.
Thank God, the old one broke any time I switched to full screen and stuttered like I'm dialup.
I hope they make it play on max volume no mater what your settings, just for nostalgia's sake.
I hope this stops it from being laggy. It's awful on big picture mode/gamescope
Does it now work on steam deck?
- It actually does
  
  Nice!
