Subject: [Xerte] Video issue in Xerte (mediaelements plugin)
Importance: High

Sorry, my bad. That last screenshot was Firefox 27 on Mac, Chrome 35 actually works fine.

Just for completeness, can anyone confirm what it does on other browsers/devices?

Steps to reproduce:

   1) Open this url : http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_10711

   2) Press play and click the fullscreen button

   3) Once the movie has stopped playing at the end (you can drag the slider near to the end rather than sitting through the movie), press the Esc key or Fullscreen button to exit fullscreen

   4) Describe or take a screen capture of what you see. On some browsers the video collapse into a thin strip, on others the video player looks normal but the video within is scaled too big.

   5) Email the list or me directly at jjs at gcu.ac.uk<mailto:jjs at gcu.ac.uk> with your screenshot/description and the device/browser/version number (found in About on the menu) and I'll collate and try to get it fixed.

Since video is quite an important aspect of Xerte it would be good to fix this or else we may end up investigating an alternative video plugin.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Safari question

Ah so it's not iPad but Mac... that's an interesting bug that I've not seen before. Most likely it is to do with the mediaelements plugin so I will investigate and report an issue there.

For info, it also manifests in Chrome, although slightly differently (see screenshot). If you have it fullscreen and the video stop and then you press esc or the fullscreen button then you return to the LO but the video is scaled wrongly and you can't get it to return to correct scaling without refreshing the LO.
