    I think BukkitDev should fix the YouTube embed code they use, because it looks very crappy when you have videos in 16:9. Look here to see what I mean. The video is showcased in a 4:3 box, however it is 16:9. I don't understand why this hasn't been fixed already considering that on Bukkit Forums this is already the case:


    So... why not on BukkitDev?! :(

    The player is 4:3 but the video is 16:9 (wider) resulting in the black bars on the top and bottom of the video.

    I guess that's just due to the project description size. I'll see if anything can be done about that, but due to the fact that we are waiting on new "templates" to be created, it might take a while.

    Ok, thank you, even though I thought it would be a simple fix. I mean, the size is smaller than the player (630px), so it should be enough to hold the wider player, no?

    Anyway, thanks :)
    Hope it gets fixed soon, I really am picky on some things, and this is especially hard for me to see (>_<).

    This bothered me for a while too, but then I discovered Stylish and added this to my user style
    Code:
        object, object embed {
            width:  610px !important;
            height: 380px !important;
        }
    problem solved :D

    Maybe, but what about Chrome users? Opera? Safari? IE? No wait. IE sucks.
    I personally don't use Firefox, and I think a fix in BukkitDev's template would be easier rather than everyone making a fallback on their end :)

    There are similar addons for all browsers (except IE obviously) and I think Opera has a it built in. It would obviously be better for it to be changes on BukkitDev but that is not going to happen today.

    I guess I'll wait till it happens then, though these small details really bother me, personally. I'm not sure on how BukkitDev works with it's templates, but it must be a bit weird cause fixing this would only require changing the embed code it uses, no?

    My understanding is that there is no template system exactly there is just a theme, which makes sense since there is a bukkit.css in the code. Ideally this problem would be fixed in the HTML like you said but until there is a template system that will not be possible. So yes it's a small change, but there is a big change that has to happen first.

    Alright I understand. I'll wait till Bukkit changes to a better system then. Thanks!
