 * I am using JW Player to deliver video content. IT has two operating modes: Flash
   and HTML5. In Flash all is fine – it works perfectly when I click the full screen
   mode. SO: the theme works and the player works.
 * In HTML5 when I click full screen – I get a black bar at the top of the screen
   that takes up about 35% of the screen and physically pushes the video down so
   I am missing aboout a third of it. Here’s the tricky part:
 * 1 If I use only the HTML5 <video> tag to place the video it plays fine full screen.
   Therefore it’s not a problem with the theme.
 * 2 If I use a different theme (e.g. 2015 still with side bar) it plays fine in
   full screen. Therefore it’s not a problem with the player.
 * It seems that (as with the Flash mode) both the player and the theme are both
   worrking fine in HTML5 full screen video mode.
 * BUT when I put the two together (Theme+JW PLayer) there is an interaction that
   is forcing the picture down the page. I would prefer to keep using Hemingway.
   Does Anders know if there is anything in the code that might be casuing this 
   conflict?
 * Just for clarity there are no issues when the video plays in the player window–
   only when going full scree.
 * Thanks.
