We hope to set the splash image as a square, but the light box is 16:9. I use the short code below but it show the video on a square scale.

Here is the screen shot: http://prntscr.com/10vktzz

[fvplayer src="https://vod.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk/law/_definst_/LawTech_2021_David.mp4/playlist.m3u8" splash="https://www.law.cuhk.edu.hk/app/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/LawTech_profile_1c.png" width="500" height="500" lightbox="true;" lightbox="true;800;500;"]

How to show splash image is square(1:1) but video light box is 16:9 ?

Hello Manson,

the size of the lightbox view is set with the width=”500″ and height=”500″ arguments as it respects the desired video size.

The size of the lightbox button on the page is set in the lightbox argument – so you are setting that one to 800×500. But you actually have two lightbox=”…” arguments in the shortcode, so the second one is ignored. So then both the lightbox view and the lightbox button on page use the 500×500 size.

We will ensure this is properly documented.

But I also see we were calculating the responsive CSS for the lightbox button and also ignoring the lightbox button size provided via the database (you are using the old shortcode format).

Please reinstall FV Player from this link: https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/master.zip

To do that you will have to first deactivate and delete the current FV Player plugin you are using. WordPress will warn you that you might loose settings and data, but it’s not the case with our plugin, no settings now videos will be lost. Or you can just replace the plugin files via FTP.

Then it should all work for you as expected.

Thanks,
Martin
