   I've got two problems I'm dealing with, with videopress that is being used on a self hosted wordpress site.

   1. The aspect ratio should be 16:9 and it shows up that way in my media library but when posted it distorts to a 4:3 ratio. The files were uploaded as a 853 x 480 in size and are coded as h.264.

   2. The posts I have read show that you can change the width and height of a posted video by adding an "h=" and "w=" with the dimensions in the shortcut for embedding. In the post they show the code as [wp video PbIxLwMp] but mine show up as [videopress PbIxLwMp]. Why is mine showing up differently then people are referring to it? Also the h and w codes don't seem to work on my shortcut for embedding.

   PLEASE ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!

   Please upgrade your wporg videopress plugin to the latest version (0.2.0). The previous version has a bug that prevented the correct display of width and height.

   Regarding the shortcode - both will work.
   [videopress PbIxLwMp] is the latest format;
   [wpvideo PbIxLwMp] is more of a legacy.
   You can change the width and height with w= h=

   [videopress xyz] uses your default theme content_width if present, otherwise uses 400px as width.

   [videopress xyz w=640] specifies the width of video to be 640px, while preserving the aspect ratio.

   [videopress xyz w=640 h=360] specifies both width and height

   [videopress xyz h=300] specifies the height of the video to be 300px, while preserving the aspect ratio.

   Hello Hailin,

   I have everything working as it should, but other than dimensions, is there a way to override the Flash file parameters? My client would like the Embed menu to be removed, but since I am using the video on a wp.org self-hosted site, I have to leave this option check in wp.com.

   Perhaps there would be a way to pass parameters to the Flash file to customize it some more. Other than suppressing the embed menu, I would like to change the wordpress logo used as the play video button.
   Is there a way I can do that?

   Thanks very much for any help.

   Hailin, hello again,

   I also need to translate Play Video... that is why I was asking about being able to change the WordPress logo in the first place, so I could replace it with the generic play triangle button, which is universal and would work in all languages.

   Thanks again
   Yanik
