Improve Media Viewing Experience in View Routes

[McTobe]

Hi,

I'd like to propose a couple of enhancements for the file viewing routes to improve user experience.

Firstly, audio and video are currently auto-muted. Since sharing is an explicit action, requiring the recipient to both click play and unmute feels slightly cumbersome, especially when sharing audio files. Adding a user-configurable toggle to control the default muted state would be highly appreciated.

Secondly, the display sizing for media could be optimized. High-resolution videos often exceed the viewport dimensions, creating a jarring appearance and requiring users to scroll to access controls. Larger images appear smaller than necessary. Implementing responsive sizing for both videos and images, ensuring they adapt to fit within the viewport (for example, using CSS like max-width: 80vw; max-height: 80vh;), would provide a much cleaner presentation across different screen sizes. My testing with these simple CSS adjustments, as shown in the examples linked below, I think this significantly improves the layout.

Video Default Example | Video 80vw/80vh Example
Image Default Example | Image 80vw/80vh Example

While CSS adjustments can be done already addressing the sizing issues, the auto-muting behavior is not.

Thank you for considering these two suggestions.
