Vimeo black box home page

Mind just taking a quick peek at the attached screenshot?

How do I remove the black bars out of my VIMEO box?

Thanks,
Lee

I second this.  I tried using the code posted in the knowledge database on the old support site but it gave me a lot of errors.  Would also need to do this for YouTube videos as well.

What format are your videos? They are set to work at 16:9 by default. You can find the size settings for the video in single-portfolio.php line 77-79:

$media_width = 940; // video width
$media_height = NULL;
$video_height = 530; // video height

Thanks Ed.  To everyone looking for proper Vimeo dimensions, I used this and it works.

$media_width = 800;

$media_height = NULL;

$video_height = 400;

My videos are 16:9  Even with the values set to 940×530, there are black bar on the left and right side of the videos when they’re played.  Is it something else that’s preventing the videos from filling the entire vimeo frame?

Try setting them to 800 x 400, as above.

I’ve tried that and it did not work.  800 x 400 made it worse.

It depends on the format of your video, increase/decrease the height until it fits.

Why doesn’t the theme adjust size accordingly for video? For instance if I adjust the width and height code for one video, it will throw other videos off.

It’s not possible to auto adjust I’m afraid.
