PluginMediaPlayer too small - how getting the big video shown?

posts: 1563 Germany

Hello everybody,

this time a question from my side: I have been uploading an flv video to a file gallery and show it on a wikipage with the plugin MediaPlayer.

Video and Audio are nice - good quality - BUT the video is very small, if not to say tiny.

I tried al sorts of combination of mentioned (in the docs) and unmentioned oprtions for width and height.

width="100%" or width="XYZpx" etc. do actually cause effects, but only that the MediaPlayer shrinks even more and the video disappears (just until the option is removed again).

For a specific small internal workgroup it would be quite useful to be able to watch the video in at least standart youtube embed size 480px width, or even better full page width.

When I open the video locally with my local videoplayer (on gnu/Linux), then the video appears even fullscreen in a good quality.

Any hints? Maybe found a bug?

Best regards and thx for help,
Torsten

Hi, sorry for having accidently posted two same topics ..I deleted the accidently posted new thread straight after creaion.

Rick, I have been reviewing the doc page before I did write the post  and I tried all what I have seen there.

Aswell the PluginMediaPlayer HAS width and height parameter, at least for some media - definitely working with PDF, as describe on doc and as I used frequently.

I will try with SRC="..." using an mp4 and try if that will change anything.

following a different worded description of the same problem copied from the accidental double posted (and instantly deleted) thread:

Hey there friends,

today changing the side and being stuck in a (minor) problem myself. Need heelp! biggrin

Long words short:

  • I upload a flv file to a Tiki (pre-14) into a file gallery with certain category/group permissions.

 

  • I display the video by using the PluginMediaPlayer and the appropriate group CAN SEE the Video AND HEAR the audio

 

  • BUT the video player is small like a thumbnail and the parameters for with / height are not working!
    Actually, when I use those parameters with % or px, there is an effect, but whatever I try by setting those parameters, the Plugin either diappears or shrinks or morphes to s.th. strange, not showing the video.
    There is no way for me right now (that's where I am stuck) to show the video in at least something like 480px x something or better page width or fullscreen.


Any hints? configuration, bug, error 40 or pebcak?

Thx in advance for reply,
Torsten



Thx and regards

Sorry Rick,

 

you must have missed my Post a few minutes before your answer - I just foud out, that the valuses number% and numberpx are not working with the video (with pdf it seems to work?).

We just have to use number without % or px.

Thx. anyway!

I added a hint to the doc page.

Best regards,
Torsten
