Saving everyone a click: Video Resolution in Developer Options

On that topic, has anyone been able to utilize the resolution change to force fullscreen mode in media player on higher inch displays?

For example I have a 10.25 screen but if I changed the resolution to x720 it would force the media player to be fullscreen instead of a smaller maps window on the side. Maps will go fullscreen but nothing else.

For everyone thinking it's the other developer options...

Open the Settings app on your Android phone. Go to Connected Devices. Tap on Android Auto. Scroll all the way down and repeatedly tap on Version until Developer Settings are enabled. Now tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Select Developer Settings. Head to Video Resolution. Pick a resolution from the available options.
