I've written a small app that you can drag onto your bookmarks bar that will allow you to view Betfair live video full screen, but it will also auto-switch between races for you.

I have this issue on MS Edge when selecting a manual race.

I did upload a new version mid-morning because I spotted a bug on the manual select area. If you delete the bookmark, refresh the page, and reinstall again, you may find that that issue has been resolved.

I've updated and still have the same issue. I also get the bottom of the stream cut off when selecting the "large" option.

These issues are on both Edge and Firefox. I am operating a 5120x1440 display resolution, which may be relevant?

Works great with Horse racing but if you try Greyhounds it keeps loading Horse racing?

It's much better, for the health and performance of the running Bet Angel application, to keep streaming live video separate in a browser.

It does state at the top of the link in font size 24 and in bold "Betfair Live Video Auto Switch for Horse Racing" to be fair but I can see people wanting it for all sports

I uploaded a version that you can select it to default to Greyhounds. If you try and use it on Greyhounds, it will keep loading horse racing if you've got that selected, so you'd have to do this through the configuration menu.

You may have the old version because I've updated it a couple of times today based upon feedback.

Added support for greyhounds, but it's really aimed at sports where you have a sequential sequence. For example, eight football matches all going off at the same time isn't going to be particularly helpful or useful.

Auto-switching to every race on greyhounds or horse racing is obviously going to be very useful.

We've tested it extensively and identified that as a key problem. Which is why we haven't integrated it in the same way others have.

The bottom of the stream issue is only on RMG streams. Yarmouth today on ATR is fine.

The display on RMG is very different from ATR, so it often doesn't quite fit in the same way an ATR feed does.

I'll have a look on Edge and see if I can identify if it's handling it some other way.
