Thus the "wat".
!
When I play a Vid8, I can tap all over the screen but the tool bar won't display. I paused the video, no tool bar, I play the video and tap around the display, nothing.
No gear icon pops up, just the status bar, speaker, volume bar and fullscreen when tapped.
That's because your antique tablet is forcing/using its own video player.
My new "antique" kindle was an Xmas gift from my ex-gf about 4 years ago. I fired it up when my old Kindle (8 years old) went on the fritz about 4 months ago. So 4 years old is antique now? I think the silk browser might be the real culprit.
Thanks for letting me know why I don't get the tool icon on Vid8. Maybe brave would work better but Amazon has disallowed my brave app from running after 3 months of my use under the pretense the kindle OS was updated, brave developers notified, until they provide an update brave is considered non compliant.
