Hello, I was trying to use the YouTube Player for my sales video and I noticed that it works fine when I paste in the URL and/or use the video element with the URL. However, YouTube has released some new features recently and we now have control over a lot of functions within the video to keep people engaged and from leaving the site. But in order to use the hide suggested videos / hide player control and hide video title I have to use the embed code.
So when I add the embed code to a “Text Block” it will not shrink the video proportionally. It keeps the same height as the original dimensions with black spacing and only the width will adjust to the browser window. Is there anyway around this at this time? I really want to avoid showing controls and suggested videos at the end of my video because it’s a sales page.
Thanks for looking into this…
Best!

Could you please provide us with a temporary admin login so that we can take a closer look? You can post the details in the Private Content section of your reply.
Cheers!
RikardJuly 22, 2015 at 12:31 am #476781i have the same problem, so i went to a hosted video, but there is no pre-load image in the player, only a black screen. Can this be changed?
Also – i would prefer to use the YouTube player / embed code, if you have fixed the responsive issue.
Thanks

Could you provide us with a link to the site in question so that we can take a closer look please?
Cheers!
RikardJuly 22, 2015 at 8:00 pm #477293it was 440×248 to match the images, but was not big enough for the responsive break. so the video was set to 630×354 for the tablet viewport. having the dimensions in a code block or text block does not scale well. using the youtube link does, but there is no control over the settings (as mentioned above)
July 24, 2015 at 4:24 pm #478261Here is an example of the YouTube player embedded in a text block. It also has the same exact problem using the code block.
I have a self-hosted video (JW-Player 6) below the YouTube video for testing purposes as well. just an FYI.
I have something else I would like to bring to your attention. I can also start a new thread for this but since you are going to have access it would be a good idea to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
The headline rotator is not working properly. It is forcing my second and third rotating text to take up 2 lines.
Here is a screenshot of the settings: http://screencast.com/t/6vl5WGee0
And here is the link to the landing page with the video and rotating link above the video: https://www.whitehatexclusive.com/

Thanks!

Do you still have this issue? i’ve checked it on my end and the rotating text is taking 1 line: http://screencast.com/t/btEg9suUiC0b
Best regards,
JosueAugust 3, 2015 at 5:04 pm #482273Yes, I’m on Chrome & Firefox (latest versions). Example: http://screencast.com/t/zZ0hkx4ICgWO
I also hope that you guys had a chance to investigate the Youtube issue which is the main issue for me. (Black fill for vertical dimensions). Only happens with embed code. And as I mentioned, I need to use the embed code for my sales videos so I can auto-play video, take off suggested videos and player controls. Using the url will not give me these options. and if I try to add those values to the url version it will not work.

PS. Am I suppose to see private data from other Participants??? Does this mean everyone can see my username and password I gave Enfold?

August 5, 2015 at 12:30 pm #483256Hi!
For your rotating text try this code in Quick CSS field:
.av-fixed-rotator-width .av-rotator-text { width: 350px !important; }
Your video looks good to me now. Could you fix it? you can change size using this code:
div#player { width: 100% !important; }
Adjust as needed.
Our developers are currently working for new features in our forum. That’s why you might temporarily see private content, but it will be fixed soon. Thanks for making us aware about this issue!

AndyAugust 9, 2015 at 6:14 pm #484925That code doesn’t work for the video because it’s in an iFrame. Any other suggestions to display Youtube videos in iFrame correctly?
Thanks
August 9, 2015 at 8:40 pm #484933Hey!
Youtube iframes are not natively responsive, they require some wrapping and custom coding, similar to what we do with the Enfold Video element, which you’re using right now it seems, i’d suggest you stick with that or use a specialised plugin, like this.
Best regards,
Josue -
