[Xerte] Re: Youtube Dimensions

[Julian Tenney]

You mean like this? See attached. There is an optional property 'videoSize' which takes a value like this: 500,200.

Would you test it for me please? You might want to back those two files up in case there's anything screwy in there, but it looks OK. I haven't been through every option / combination...

Unsure about the HD thing. Are you sure there is an HD stream of the video you want to view? If the input is lo-fi, HD will be lo-fi too. Even if there is an HD stream, you might need a very expensive projector to actually see any difference, can you point me to an example where you can see the difference between HD and standard quality?

Subject: [Xerte] Youtube Dimensions

Hi wizards

I'm  wondering how tricky it would be to create a copy of the youtube template (XOT) and modify it so a user could specify the dimensions of the player? I notice the standard flash video page template allows a user to enter their specified size (separated by a comma).

I've had a look at the youtube page template, just to see if I could directly change the size of the video (to 480, 272) but wasn't sure which values to set!

On another note, is there a way to force it to play a HD stream? I've ticked the HD option in the YT embed section, which appends "HD=1" to the URL, but that doesn't seem to effect the quality in Xerte.

Cheers, Adam
