Describe the current behavior

The issue only happens in the "browse videos" view of only the local instance (that is, the default where you end up after clicking "home") and selecting "recently added". (this is my favorite view by the way, that I would love to be the default view)

When I click on a video in "browse videos" to view it, and then navige click "back", the videos don't show in a mosaic anymore, but instead as a verticle list (see screenshot)

Steps to reproduce

click "home"
click "recently added"
click any video
browser-navigate back

Describe the expected behavior

No response

Additions:

The problem does not consistently occur
When the problem occurs, and you refresh the page (that shows the vertical list), you end up at Browse videos (filter local), "trending" .

Hi,

Can you ask your admin to choose

Landing page -> Browse all videos
Browse videos -> Default sort ->Hot
Browse videos -> Default scope ->Only videos from this platform

In Administration -> Settings -> General.

To see if it fixes the issue? (Currently query params are injected in the homepage, that can break the videos list behaviour).

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

Our Admin followed the steps. Two observations:

the issue of the incorrect vertical layout still occurs.
When this happens and I refresh, the layout is correct and I am on the "recently added page". So that part is fixed.
