Black bars on either side

A link with a example would be nice but I guess you are right, its because some providers have the controlls below the video.

You could tweak the aspect ratio for all videos to try to remove the black bars.

Add this to your CSS:

.arve-embed-container {
	padding-bottom: 56.25% !important; /* <- experiment with this value, set it lower */
}

But this will affect all videos and therefor the most providers like youtube will probably end up having black bars in top and bottom then.

@moderators: This forum is still acting strange, showing me as starter of threads that I did not start, not showing be as latest poster and showing the actual thread starter as last reply. Are my posts still marked as spam? If yes, could you do something about it?

// In fact I logged out to check and yes they are all marked as spam for whatever reason. You need to do something about you spam filters it has false detections on me now all the time.

I will implement individual aspect rations per provider next versions. I already tested it with the Dailymotion playlist (needs a big space for the video bar at the bottom)

If you find the right percentage values for the providers you want to use please let me know. But only for 19:9 videos not 4:3.
