I don't remember if I have such code in the MediaPlayer, but in theory,
there is an API for obtaining overlay_restrictions from the app_server
which includes minimum and maximum scaling. MediaPlayer could then just
have those impossible scaling options disabled, and also lock the window
size accordingly. But to answer your question, I'd prefer if the driver
falls back to showing only a portion of the video in case an appication
ignores the restrictions.
