  • Hi – I’m not sure if i found a bug or have issue with mp4 and/or Internet Archive videos with your player ..??..

    my problem was the poster image blows out the width and height settings … e.g., the poster image is 160×110 from Internet Archives link below … yet if i used the default players settings of 480×270 the poster image disrespects the 270 height shows something like 320 height and then the playback controls look silly in that they are floating in the middle of this enlarged poster file … then when you click play the video dimensions drop down to what was originally specified …

    in the end i just adjusted the height to 360 to accommodate this 160×110 jpg that for life i’ve me cann’t understand why it gets enlarged … maybe a simple css tweak ..??.. maybe something with mp4s or ..??.. thus share as fyi …

    utlimately this worked ->

    [video width="480" height="360" poster="http://archive.org/download/PledgeOfAllegiance/PledgeOfAllegiance.thumbs%2FRedSkeltonsPledgeOfAllegiance1969_000030.jpg" src="http://archive.org/download/PledgeOfAllegiance/RedSkeltonsPledgeOfAllegiance1969_512kb.mp4" type="video/mp4"]

    note this is a Red Skelton Classic TV clip on Pledge of Allegiance at Internet Archives …

    thanks in advance for any pointers that can be shared … technically i’d like to design poster images in photoshop at correct size and have them show in player as planned and not seemingly arbitrarily inflated …

    cordially, chuck scott
