Self Hosted Video Seems Not (Well) Supported

    Hi, guys. First of all: GREAT theme, very inspiring to work with! Only one issue: it does not at all work smoothly with self hosted videos and this kind of sucks. As a matter of fact (I guess) the script responsable of making the YouTubes and Vimeos fullscreen tries to make ANY video (and notably the self hosted ones) fullscreen that is not YouTube or Vimeo in a page or a blog post. Could you maybe fix that? You would be my heroes. Thanks a lot!

    Hi, of course. The site where I encountered the behaviour being live (I actually bought a vimeo PRO account to "solve the problem") I cannot show the original occurence. But as I intend to use your theme in a more extensive way, I re-created the behavior for you in another WordPress installation. You can see it here: http://gr-01.de/gr-2014/ You note that the post is a section of the one page homepage. Seen as an article it does show nicely the full page behaviour as coded for the video home section: http://gr-01.de/gr-2014/die-7-staffel-die-kinotour-der-trailer but again: this is not what I want. Looking at the source you may notice, that the video tag contains width and height attributes that are (if I get that right) overruled by script generated values added to the very same video tag. I would in this example the video to display in the dimensions I determine (what, occasionally, would be 718px x 404px). Thans again for helping me with this --Sven

    Ok, I see.

    The difficulty is that you are using a parallax home section.

    And video full background works only with youtube videos

    Easier would be to perform some custom work and create a home section type that just displays the html content.

    Thanks

    Thank you.

    Okay. Well then tell me about this: http://vanryssen.de/reklame/achim-hellmann-2-film... - no partallax section there, not even a section at all. Just a blog post and a self hosted video. Even FitVids doesn' seem to do the trick - something tells the video to make 1040px height and 1903px width (that should be my viewport). 

    I am quite sure that it is the maximage script (called in scripts.js, line 554) that has to do with the problem. After commenting the line out I am able to put self hosted video and make it behave responsively. 

    But what do I lose by commenting the line out?

    This is mainly for the video background home section.

    Yours does not display any video currently. Did it play before? 

    Thank you.
