[Xerte] Re: youtube movie dimensions

[Dave Burnett]

Just before Julian left he said this is something that has changed at the youtube end.
They just rolled out a new "look and feel" recently I think.They probably goosed things behind the scenes as well.
Offlist send me the exact sequence you are using for that page in desktop and I'll see if my old Xerte version fouls up.

Subject: [Xerte] youtube movie dimensions



I’m still stuck on youtube movie sizing. When I enter a youtube movie page the movie is oversized like in the image below to the left. I want it to display in the preview window as the image below on the right. I’d appreciate it if someone could try these links below and tell me if the youtube movie (usually page 7) displays properly in the small preview window or opens right off the page as in the image below left. On all my machines here it is right off the page. http://www.kccsoft.com/RGM/ssv51training/index.htm     (desktop version) https://kccsoft.com/u2c/tk100714/play.php?template_id=410    (toolkits 1.5 version) This just started a few days ago, up until then the page opened with the movie in the preview window. I’m using the youtube older ‘object’ ‘embed’ code. I’ve tried setting the xerte display mode from ‘full screen’ and ‘full window’ to ‘default’, set text alignment to ‘right’ and tried removing the variables off the end of the youtube URL, all to no effect. If you play with the ‘magnify’ icon (click it three times) the movie will resize back into the preview window, but that’s too much to ask a user to do. Is there a way I can initialize the movie size when the page loads or somehow force the size (although it is set in the youtube embed code). Thanks for any suggestions….am I missing something obvious? RonM2
