Trailers Play in Fullscreen BUT in the Background

I've been using the Crew addon for a long time now, and recently back in September there was an update to the YouTube addon. After it, the trailers quit working in the Crew addon, yet the YouTube addon still worked fine and I could play videos from it. So, I've tried creating new API keys, uninstalling Kodi, installing the latest 20.1 version, but still the same issue.

So I tried installing Diggz Xenon, and surprisingly, the trailers worked! I didn't even have to use my API keys, unless somehow it's using them automatically from the Crew addon that is still installed. Update: It is using the same YouTube v7.1.0+unofficial by anxdpanic, bromix, MoojMidge, so how are the trailers working in Diggz but not in the Crew?

Anyhow, first time installing Diggz Xenon, and installed current version 9/13/24. I noticed when playing a trailer, the trailer plays full screen but it’s behind all the other windows. How can I make it always full screen in front of all the windows? Also, I noticed, if I keep my mouse over the trailer button, a smaller video of the trailer plays in the small information window, though the information text about the movie is still overlaying it which is very distracting.

Is this by design with this build? Please tell me there is a way to fix or at least change this behavior.

Guess its a Crew issue, as other addons play the trailers fine.
