iPad player buttons move off-screen in landscape

Practical steps, clear explanations and a useful place to start.

Test the affected screen in both orientations and record exactly which control becomes inaccessible. Reopen the app in the orientation that previously worked before changing the account or reinstalling it.

Why this happens

A layout problem can depend on orientation and app version. It is distinct from a stream failing to load or a subscription being rejected.

Work through the steps

  1. Check whether rotation is locked.
  2. Open the affected screen in portrait.
  3. Rotate to landscape and inspect the missing control.
  4. Check the app update and report the two layouts to its publisher.

What to avoid

Avoid erasing a working playlist as the first response to a missing button. Keep screenshots free of credentials.

Know what changed

A usable layout should keep essential controls reachable in the selected orientation. If the issue occurs only after rotation, include that exact trigger in the bug report.
