How to Fix MX Player Screen Orientation Issue

MX Player Screen Rotation Not Working

I've been facing a peculiar issue with MX Player recently. It seems that the screen orientation feature in MX Player is not working properly, but it functions perfectly fine in other apps on my Android device.
When I try to rotate my screen while using MX Player, it simply doesn't respond to any changes in the device orientation. However, when I use other video players or even browse through my device's applications, the screen orientation feature works flawlessly.

I even tried disabling and re-enabling the auto rotation feature in mobile, but the problem persists. It's quite frustrating because I often prefer watching videos in landscape mode, and this issue is hindering my viewing experience. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with MX Player?
