16:9 video fails to display correctly - Why?

**Dafydd** · 08-04-2007, 05:12 PM

16:9 footage is uploaded but displayed badly. The player is fixed at 4:3 and centres the 16:9 video - removing the left and right sections of the video!

I'm currently looking to alter the settings to display a wide screen video (16:9) which is a must have for the video editor members. If anyone knows the tweak...where to change it let me know asap please.

You can change player width and height in include/player.inc

Thank you admin.

The changes I made:

***********
<?php

$player_wdith = 470;
$player_height = 285;
$displayheight = $player_height - 20;

$vshare_player = <<<EOT

***********

These now display the 16:9 video file correctly. I will perhaps alter the display again...but I know where to look. thank you.

I went into include/player.inc and changed the size.
The page with the player would not load. Nothing.
I then overwrote the file on the server with the original and it still is blank.
Yikes can this be fixed?

Oh I know it can I just need to know how. Thanks
