watching on my PC - no ability to re-size video
why are we stuck with only 2 options for the video player - small or 100% full screen mode?
We're in the age of wide and ultra-wide screen monitors where we typically are doing many things at once, including watching DTV.
We need to be able to resize the video player appropriately to whatever scale we need.
Is there any way around having only these 2 options?

That's it. Standard and full screen.

I'm confused by the question. On a PC, you don't use a "video player" - you use a web browser. and you can set the size of that to whatever you want. Am I misunderstanding what you are asking?

Jrandomuser, yes, in the browser (I'm using Chrome) there's an embedded video player - that's the one I'm talking about.
But as bcbsnjlj mentions above, there are only 2 options, standard and full screen, with nothing in between.

I'm still confused. There is no "embedded video player" per se when you access the video using a browser. Rather, it is using standard HTML5 extensions - the Media Source Extension (MSE) with appropriate container and codec support, plus probably Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) or HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), and almost certainly Encrypted Media Extensions (EME). The bottom line is that the video is just playing in a browser window. If it isn't full screen (which I guess is what you are calling "standard") so you can resize the browser window, if you do the video resizes also. I do this all the time, and can have a DirecTV Stream window coexisting with other windows. Am I still misunderstanding the issue?
