All the sudden the player on my Tubepress pages is a very weird shape - as wide as the column and only a couple hundred pixels high or less. I haven't changed any styling.

 

It doesn't matter what size I put in the player section for max height & width, it stays the same.

 

I tried the JW player, which didn't work, and I've posted about elsewhere, but I went back to the default Tubepress player, and thought everything was ok, but looked at all the video pages today, and the player is like that on all of them.

 

Tried completely deleting Tubepress and reinstalling, no change.

 

Please help. Having a lot of issues with Tubepress all the sudden, as my other posts attest, and it's discouraging, to say the least.

I'm switching to a pop-out window for the player for now, because it works ok that way. But I much prefer the player above the thumbnails (the 'normally' setting in Tubepress).

Hello James,

 

Unfortunately, since you have TubePress set to use a popup player, we are unable to troubleshoot what is causing the problems you are seeing.

 

If possible, please change it back to the default settings so we may troubleshoot your site and help to resolve your issues.

 

Thanks!

It's set up with the default (YouTube) player now, but I can't leave it like that for long, it looks awful.

 

Also, I tried using

embeddedHeight="407" embeddedWidth="600"

directly on the page in the tubepress code, but it didn't help.

James,

 

Please enable debugging for that page.

 

Thanks!

How do you enable debugging for a single page?

 

PS. Just checked the documentation, and it says you can just add tubepress_debug=true to the URL of the page you want to debug, so can't you do that? If not, I don't see anything in documentation on how to enable it for one page.

The player is getting "squished" due to some CSS from your theme. Specifically, in http://www.humortime...child/style.css you have the following CSS rules:

.youtube-player {
    height: 75% !important;
    width: 100% !important;
}

Remove or comment out those lines and the player goes right back to normal size.

 

Edit: You could also remove just the "height" property, if desired.

Thanks, that did it. Forgot I put that in there, it makes the gallery and player work as responsive design, looks good on small screens. So, I just kept the 'width' - height didn't work so well.
