HighSlide Viewer Too Narrow on Embedded Videos

[Pegasys]

Searched high & wide for some help on this but keep coming up dry.

The HighSlide pop-up viewer is always too narrow and it partially hides the right edge of any embedded video it displays.  What is happening is that the vertical scroll bar displays... and that chops off the video display on the right side by the width of the scroll bar.

It does not do this on images. Just videos.... which are embedded and not uploaded.


* Using SMF 2.05 with Aeva-Media 1.4c & PortaMx 1.0 RC4 installed.


I'm not sure if this is an SMF issue (doubtful) or an Aeva-Media issue (maybe) or just a HighSlide JS issue.

My best guess is that its an Aeva-Media width-related variable that is determining the width of the embedded content... without taking into account the overall height of the container... thus resulting in the vertical scroll bar that messes everything up.

I'm posting this here as there is no support anywhere (that I know of) for Aeva Media.


What I would need help with is trying to find where I can turn off the scroll bars or re-code to make the container adjust for the full height of the video plus the title and description that displays below it. I could also force a fixed height for the container... if I can locate the exact container.

I've gone through the aeva-template.php, the am.css and hs.css files... and even the highslide.js files but can not locate where I can make any changes that will fix this.


Any help from anyone on this would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

you would be best to post in the support topic for the mod you have installed since this is not a default feature of smf.

I haven't seen you raise this in the Aeva support thread yet so I'll offer a possible solution here.

My guess is this is happening with wide-screen videos. Aeva > admin > layout > try setting the maximum size just above 600.

Let us know what happens.

i dont see that option in the admin panel for aeva anywhere, also layout seems to be in the settings page.

Thanks for the response. Yes... most of the videos are wide screen, hosted on either You Tube or Vimeo. But it does the same thing on those videos that are not wide-screen.  The Highslide pop-up viewer does resize to the width of the video correctly... but it does not resize for the full height of the video and the title and description that appears below it. Therefore, the container (DIV) its in generates a vertical scroll bar... and that is what reduces the viewable area of the container.

I had the Maximum width for embedded videos setting in the Auto Embedding menu originally set to 800... then tried leaving it blank... and then set it at 1024 and 1200. But it makes no difference. I believe that setting only affects embedding videos into messages.

Thats correct. The Max Width setting is in the Auto Embedding Menu.  There is also a Max Width setting in the Main Settings... but I believe that is for limiting the size of uploaded material. I have that set to 1200.


* I may be wrong but I do not think there is an admin setting that controls the width of the highslide pop-up viewer.

Sorry about that, I should have said Configuration instead of Layout.

Best to put this one onto the Aeva support thread...

Thanks for the link. I moved the discussion over to that thread where I hope it will get the same response and consideration that you two have given it here. Thank you very much.
