Thanks Lucian!

I'm not aware of such a bug - every video I've tried shows correctly, unless you're trying a video with an exotic resolution - so far standard definition and hd videos seem to work fine. Do you have this problem with a specific browser and / or video?

The file you are looking for is /Views/Partials/Intro_YouTube.cshtml

I appreciate the swift feedback, Sotiris! Thank you ever so much for sharing the location of the source code. I might try to alter

string youtubeUrl = "https://youtu.be/" + homePage.YoutubeVideoId;

so that I could point at the media file from within the site itself (from within the media repository, let's say) to see if that changes the behaviour anyhow.

I was trying only on Google Chrome to begin with and my resolution differs:

• on the main machine I use 1920x1080
• on the additional monitor I use 3840x2160

The video is not of great quality yet (it's merely a test for now only, taken from my phone) and it's here https://youtu.be/eB2Ci-d4Nio

Thanks once more.

I am lucky to have a Dell 34" UHD monitor with a 3840 horizontal resolution so I tried it with your video. Indeed, in such a resolution the horizontal/vertical ratio causes the video to zoom. It's not a problem with the video player though.

The player the theme is using is an open source one, here are its settings: https://github.com/pupunzi/jquery.mb.YTPlayer/wiki

You can find the call to the player at line 23 of the Intro_YouTube.cshtml file:

<div id="video" class="ytp-player" data-property="{videoURL:'@youtubeUrl',containment:'#intro', showControls:false, autoPlay:true, loop:true, mute:true, startAt:6, opacity:1, addRaster:false, quality:'default'}"></div>

I suggest you experiment with parameters there, rather than hard-coding your video URL which I don't think will offer you anything different.

---> yes, I was already looking at the controls on the line 23, thank you so much once again!

I'll put a decent definition video on my youtube profile to stream from, then. Am I right in thinking that the video background landing page is destined for users that browse this on a computer or on tablets only, and so on phones this is disabled - you get a white background that replaces the video? If that's the case then I need to pay attention at the text color I use, as white text on white background would read nothing on a phone.
