Auto resize in JW Player

Question

Hello people,

Is there any way we can make the JW Player auto resizable when it loads?

Like, for instance, if the movie file is smaller in dimensions than the player,then there is black background it. I want the movie to spread all over the black color.

Thanks in advance.

Hi KPL,

There are a couple of stretching options that can be set via flashvar. These include none (no stretching), exactfit (disproportionate), uniform (stretch with black borders) or fill (uniform, but completely fill the display). They're all listed on our flashvars page.

If you're looking to update the size of the player within the DOM, it may be possible, but it's certainly not recommended, as this would cause Flash to reload the player.

Best,
