Question Changing the size of video on youtube

hi i was wondering if there was a way to change the size of youtube videos? Do i have to modify any files. meaning how big they show in the forum.

Hello,

you can change the size video by using this kind of bbcode without the * :

[*video width=345 height=456 type=youtube]ANEBm7Ex1jw[/video]

hi thanks for the reply but i have tried that and the size of the video stays the same the only thing that grows is the border outside and the actual video youtube video on kunena . This is a link to the video i am talking about. now is this youtube or is it kunena thanks.

G'day, andresc2, and welcome to Kunena.

First of all I don't know in what way, specifically, you want to change the size of YouTube videos that you're trying to embed into your installation of Kunena but I am assuming that you want them to display larger than how they currently do. Would that be a reasonable guess?

The sizes of embedded objects (images, videos, etc.) depends primarily how much screen "real estate" your Joomla template gives you to accommodate Kunena. Most of Kunena's objects (images, videos) are automatically resized to fit within the boundary of your Joomla website template.

But we need a bit more information from before we can offer any concrete advice.

hi thanks, yeah i want it to display bigger videos i have tried this using this code this is an example of the video



this is the same video that i want to display in the forum as you can see the movie it self it's really small while the only thing that grows is the frame of the video.

this is the code that i used to display the video,
is there a way to fix this so that the whole frame shows the movie being played. the size of the forum is the same as this one. if you need to visit the forum you can click on the last post which i created a link to my forum.

So, if I can rephrase your original question, you want to know how to change the physical appearance of one video found at YouTube. You don't want to know, in general terms, how to resize the embedded media player feature that used in Kunena. Is that right?

There's nothing we can do here because the movie that you are discussing were created that way when the it was uploaded to YouTube. This is not a Kunena issue in terms of what you have demonstrated. In fact, if you go to the YouTube website, you won't see any difference as far as that movie is concerned. So, the "problem" (if you could describe it that way) lies in the way that the movie was created and you need to discuss your issue with the person who created the movie in the first instance.

Each media player (used by your browser) to display videos has its limitations. You want a zoom-in feature. For that you need to request the feature of the developers of the media player. Kunena just uses whatever media player software you have installed on your computer. Sorry, there's nothing else that I can suggest.
