How to fix size only height of the player?

Murat A. 1 year ago

Hi
i would like to fix size for the player’s height
there is a section for it name is “Always use fixed size player”
But this is for height and weight, both.
I tried to enter 100% for Width, but it didn’t work.

Would you please help me on that matter?

Hi Murat,

You should set the Default Video Size. You can find it in Settings > FV Player Pro > Setup tab > Sitewide Flowplayer Defaults. Here you should be able to set only one of the dimensions and leave the other one blank. Let me know if it worked.

Thanks,
Eduard

Hi
when we do that mobile side is ok but it gives a problem on desktop side.
Desktop player size is showing very small when we do that. So we need to use 100% for width. Or if we enter “0” number for width , player will use 100% . so we dont use symbol like “%” . and it s more secure. or you can choice “-1” number instead of “0”

Hi Murat,

I’ll discuss this with our programming department and let you know.

Hello Murat,

could you please let us know more about what it is you are trying to achieve?

FV Player normally fills the entire column width, if the size is bigger than the column, it doesn’t work that way with the height. It has to know the video size (or aspect ratio) and then it sizes the container based on that.

The problem is that the video size is unknown until is starts to play and that’s why both width and height has to be entered (and that’s why there is a global option for it).

We already scan the video length and we would like to add scanning for video size and splash screen size, so then that could be used instead.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Murat,

thank you for the videos. Please try this CSS rule, it appears to me it’s all you need:
```
.flowplayer {
    width: 100% !important;
}
```
We don’t recommend using !important, but let’s see if it gives you what you need.

We could make it possible to enter a value like 100% for the player size, but then it would have to be explained in the user interface and it might get a bit too messy.

Thanks,
Martin
