   When in fullscreen mode, is there a way to scale the video proportionally? Videos taken with portrait size dimensions scale to fit the screen as oppose to scaling with aspect ration. I realize this is probably a flowplayer issue, but if you could include the parameter, scale="fit" instead of just the odd default, it would be very helpful.

   flowplayer's parameters for reference:

   this problem of the non-implementation of the «scale» argument in the packaged flowplayeris still not solved, and It's a shame, especially for 4/3 vids on 16/10 or 16/9 screen :/

   I'll try to put the official flowplayer (*.swf) instead of the packaged one to see if It takes the argument

   Cheers

   Hello folks.

   I also encountered this bug and would like to share my little hack to it. Please edit videojs-html5-video-player-for-wordpress/video-js-wp.php and locate the part

   } else {
       $autoplay_attribute = "";
       $flow_player_autoplay = ',"autoPlay":false';
     }
   
     $videojs .= <<<_end_

   Edit it to include the extra line I inserted:

   } else {
       $autoplay_attribute = "";
       $flow_player_autoplay = ',"autoPlay":false';
     }
   
     $flow_player_scale = ',"scaling":"fit"';
   
     $videojs .= <<<_end_

   Now edit the part:

   <param name="flashvars" value='config={"playlist":[$flow_player_poster{"url": "$mp4" $flow_player_autoplay $flow_player_preload}]}' />

   to appear like:

   <param name="flashvars" value='config={"playlist":[$flow_player_poster{"url": "$mp4" $flow_player_autoplay $flow_player_preload $flow_player_scale}]}' />

   This allows the video to scale when in full screen. However the poster is not affected and I haven't found out (yet) how to change the background color (which is white).

   Hope this helps a lot of people!

   Regards,
   Nono

   Oh regarding the background color note. I just added

   <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />

   in the <OBJECT> tag of FlowPlayer and it worked.
