I've been using this plugin for a few months now and everything was running fairly smoothly. There was also a thin white border around it, but now (seemingly ever since youtube updated the skin on their interface) the border is much thicker and goes around 3 out of the four sides, making it look like the video itself is off-center. I'm using Firefox, and it seems to be doing the same thing in Safari. Here's the URL:

Any ideas?

In your themes stylesheet you're using the following definition:
.googleVideo_holder, .yourTubeVideo_holder, .personalPlayerVideo_holder, .quickTimeVideo_holder{
text-align:center;
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
background:rgb(000,000,000);
}
maybe you can solve the problem by setting all the padding values to zero. (just a guess)
.googleVideo_holder, .yourTubeVideo_holder, .personalPlayerVideo_holder, .quickTimeVideo_holder{
text-align:center;
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
background:rgb(000,000,000);
}

just tried monkeying around with that - no dice. that code was cut & pasted straight from the directions without editing it when I installed the plugin, anyway.
blargh. frustrated.

Well, you're absolutely right. Didn't see that a right click on the white border shows the flash menu (so its a flash prob). Theres a difference in the form of video integration.
In wp-ExtremeVideo.php edit the 'gv_returnYTObject' function to fit the following changes:
find:
$flashStr .= "<object style='width:$wid;height:$hei' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' data='$url'>";
$flashStr .= "<param name='movie' value='$url'/>";
$flashStr .= "<param name='scale' value='noScale' />";
$flashStr .= "<param name='wmode' value='window'/>";
$flashStr .= "<param name='salign' value='TL' />";
$flashStr .= "</object>";
change to:
$flashStr .= "<object width=$wid' height='$hei'>";
$flashStr .= "<param name='movie' value='$url'/>";
$flashStr .= "<param name='wmode' value='transparent'/>";
$flashStr .= "<embed src='$url' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='$wid' height='$hei'></embed>
$flashStr .= "</object>";

i'm gettting a syntax error on that code that i'm not savvy enough to correct on my own. ideas? am i inserting it wrong (replacing it line by line in the section corresponding to "gv_returnYTObject"), or should i wipe out the whole gv_returnYTObject section and replace it with your code?

i am very sorry ross!
$flashStr .= "<object width='$wid' height='$hei'>";
$flashStr .= "<param name='movie' value='$url'/>";
$flashStr .= "<param name='wmode' value='transparent'/>";
$flashStr .= "<embed src='$url' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='$wid' height='$hei'></embed>";
$flashStr .= "</object>";
missed a quote and a semicolon.

thanks for your help markezz. this code helped some, but there is still a thin visible border on the right side and thick ones on the top and bottom. arrgh. maybe i'll just stop embedding videos!

Did anyone figure out how to fix the ExtremeVideo plugin? Ross seems to be AWOL on this matter and all of my YouTube videos are shifting right within the container. They were working fine until YouTube redesigned their player.

Hey guys :) AWOL? hehe that sucks... Yeah i have been working on a lot of new projects lately. Dont worry i will never forget my beloved Extreme Video. Which is why i am almost set to dish out my 3.0

here is an update. I am trying to address as much as i can.
Mainly Easier to install, easier to customize and works right out of the box. I am also making it easier to embed and much harder to mess it up :)
Check it out! I will be going forward with it soon!
