[Bug 1496910] Re: Problem with scaling in flowplayer

 

Note to testers: the file I linked to is a ".mp4" file. By default the
Embedded Media block only supports FLV & MP3 files. So on a clean Mahara
install, you'll also need to go to Extensions -> Plugin Administration
-> blocktype: file/internalmedia, and turn on "MP4 video file" as an
option.

Bug description:
  When I create a page with "embedded media" (edit page > media >
  embedded media) and chose a video file, it is displayed in flowplayer
  with the scaling parameter set to "scale".  This "deforms" the
  original video by changing the aspect ratio (for example, a 16:9 video
  is "scaled" to fit the box of a 500x300 embedded media (not 16:9).

  I corrected this locally by putting "scaling: 'orig'" in
  "artefact/file/blocktype/internalmedia/lib.php" in the flowplayer
  specifications.

  Keep up the good job!  :)
