Zdenka,
Thank you for your quick reply. I know what you mean about the equal browsers bit – so frustrating when trying to do anything. However, in Firefox on Android the HTML5 bit actually works and you don’t have to watch the video in full screen but it actually plays in the page. That is where the problem comes in RE: the big black box with an arrow and the default circle “play” icon not disappearing when you begin to play the video. (I’m not sure if it matters but I am using wp-mobile-video-player and have 5 different source file formats).
I may still try to play around with some javascript to see if I can find a way to alter the height according to the ratio and width of the video, but for now I will make do with manually defining it.
Thanks for your help and have a great day!
Jay
Just to clarify the percentage reasoning – Since my layout is almost all fluid except for the body tag, I would like to have my videos almost always (almost) cover 100% of their <div>’s width at load time and then set the appropriate height value(default height isn’t as important as it would be determined by the aspect ratio).
After doing some testing with it – I see that this will take more to resolve than the percent width. It looks like it would be necessary to add a calculation to adjust the height as well, I didn’t notice the slight skewing before and assumed that height was auto adjusting.
I will rummage through the code and see if I can figure anything out – If you know where the best place to add in some changes, I would appreciate it greatly!
example page: ‘http://onebrownshoe.com/45-2/’ – That is set as if manually set for mobile only. On desktop video is too small (also top/bottom margins are much different on mobile than on desktop for some reason)
Thanks again,
Jay
Hi there,
So far this plugin looks great and seems to be working well. One issue with the HTML 5 aspect is with the Firefox browser on Android (v4.0.2pre)- there is a large black box with a “play ” arrow on the bottom of the movie – but the circular play button is still there and does not go away after the video starts. I am assuming that this is a feature of HTML5. Is there a way to disable the HTML5 support until all browsers are equal?
My other question is regarding the width/height of the videos: It would be convenient to set default width/height as percentages rather than pixels? (Rather than having “px” just attached to the end of what is in the options boxes) I know most people may not want this – but it would be very handy when wanting one page show up on mobile browsers and desktops consistently. If you could just point me to the file to edit out the adding of the “px” in the style attribute of the with class=”flowplayer_container” that would be great!
Thanks for the great plugin,
Jay
