I'm checking (when fullscreen is turned off) if the player view is shown, for a sanity check. If it is, I show the viewpager again.
The whole idea of hiding it is to disable keyboard focusing to it when pressed. Also you could press "down" key on the hardware keyboard (in fullscreen view!) and scroll down to comments - which definitely looked like a bug. This is also fixed here.

I've removed this check after considering it. It does not seem to be really needed. @Redirion

If I remember correctly you could use arrow down key to reach description in fullscreen on android TV. Now it's 100% impossible which is a bad thing if you ask me

this avoids that the comment / next video page is reachable even though the video is playing in fullscreen

I think that was intended, wasn't it @avently?

but it doesn't make sense for an invisible/overlayed layout to be focusable. I don't think this was intended.

@Stypox, thank you for letting me know.
@Redirion you just removed an ability to view comments, description, etc by long pressing on arrow down button. Now I'm unable to view anything because viewpager is hidden.
The behavior that was before is intended. Please, remove this line or find a workaround for situation you're trying to solve that doesn't ruin the intended ability.

This is needed on phones or tablets, it was introduced since it could be useful to view description or comments while watching a video, not only on android tvs

Well.. I was honestly confused by this. I'm in full screen, I press down and I'm in comments.
And I can't go back to the video at all using my keyboard (i.e. using the up key). Only by swiping.
This is why I thought it's an incorrect behavior.
And for example pressing Space also switches me to Comments. But in 99% of video players space means play/pause. This is why I wanted to change this behavior.
What do you think? @Stypox

In this case, you need to use this method to check whether NewPipe is running on a TV:

public static boolean isTv(final Context context) {

However, I am not sure how to check whether the device has a hardware keyboard.

@mbarashkov
Take a look at how we use the arrow button:
ScreenRecord-2021-01-10-15-07-37.mp4.zip

it would be very useful to press space to pause/unpause video.
Doing it while the comments view is visible is impossible, because it gets first focus and onKeyDown event is lost

Event can not be lost. Find it and intercept. Move focus to play/pause button after that if needed. There is already working code for TVs which react on DPAD buttons without problems. Take a look on it too

Well DPAD is handled in VideoPlayerImpl -> onKeyDown, I understand that.
Issue is: onKeyDown is never even being called (on any hardware keyboard button press) when the comments ViewPager is shown in fullscreen mode.

@mbarashkov the app I use on a phone doesn't support comments per review changes so it's not comfortable to use web version of github for this. Instead I continue our discussion via ordinal comments.

I'm not sure why this happens but you probably need to set correct place of focus. So whatever you do with a player should not focus on comments section. I don't get why the same code work for dpad and don't for hardware keyboard. But anyway if you want to make it happen you need find a way:) obvious

OK. I thought this is a bug actually. Since this is intended behavior, I'll need to find another way to make it work, and submit another pull request.
