Can't view fullscreen


im using 6.8 pro and I have the player in a frame.I used before 5.10 and it worked perfectly.
with 6.8, I have a big problem. When I go full frame (lower right), the player expanses but only as big
as the frame. 5.10 did not do that.

Is there as fix or do i have to wait for 6.9 or stay with 5.10 and waste a year of service?

Fullscreen should work in almost all browsers in HTML5 mode. The exceptions are IE9 and IE10, which don't support fullscreen in HTML5 mode. If you force the player to Flash mode, fullscreen works everywhere.

Please give us a link to your site.

Wrong MIME type on the video file - the server is tagging it as *text/plain* instead of *video/mp4*. In many browsers, the video won't play at all.

Using *frameset* instead of *iframe* - that's not supported on many platforms these days.

Invalid HTML - no DOCTYPE declaration. Make sure your page validates as HTML5 before doing any further testing: http://validator.w3.org/

Please put up a test site in which the MP4 is served with the proper MIME type, which uses an iframe instead of a frameset, and which has valid HTML code.

BTW, here's a little test page that has JW 6.8 in an iframe. The page is intended to demonstrate that there's a bug regarding the slider when going to fullscreen in IE11, but you can use it to see whether fullscreen works for you. Try it in any browser.

Still the wrong MIME type. Still invalid HTML. Framesets are obsolete, and should not be used. Anywhere. Ever.

It works with JW 5.1 because that's using Flash instead of native HTML5 video.

There is no error in JW 6.8. The errors are all in your code, and in your server.

I guess you don't really want any help. Good luck.

You could just force JW 6.8 to behave like JW 5.1:

primary: "flash"

That wouldn't fix your misconfigured server, and wouldn't make your code valid, but fullscreen would work.

the purpose of having 6.8 is html5 not flash.

I know. That's why I didn't just tell you to do that in the first place.

But HTML5 mode won't work if you don't get the MIME type right, get your HTML code right, and stop using deprecated stuff. I don't know of a simpler way to explain this. It's not going to fix itself by magic. I've told you how to make it work properly, but you just don't seem to want to know.

You have not proved your point. All you have proved is that if you put up a page that uses incorrect coding, and you serve the video from a server that puts the wrong MIME type on the file, things don't work correctly. This is hardly a surprise.

Try my demo page, the one I provided a link to, above. Does it work? What does that tell you?

I can’t even test your 6.8 video out to expand it because the video errors out when play is pressed because you don’t have a proper mime type set.

HTTP “Content-Type” of “text/plain” is not supported. Load of media resource http://37.187.97.229/database/0/00001p.mp4 failed.

The reason 5 works is because it is Flash primary.

You should probably just set primary to flash for your jw6 embed…

Ethan, I've never even tried to use JW in a frameset. I'm guessing that fullscreen in HTML5 mode probably fails in that case (assuming everything else is OK, like MIME type), whereas it works with an iframe. Any idea whether that's true or not?

I am going to test this locally now. I haven’t used Framesets since….uhhh….1999?

I can’t even find results on Google about using html5 fullscreen inside of a frameset. The only request I found was here – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22375254/how-to-make-an-element-inside-a-frame-in-a-frameset-fullscreen, and it has no answers. Pretty sure html5 doesn’t support fullscreen on framesets period. Just use flash primary so it behaves just like JW5 did. It will still use html5 mode on devices and such.

I managed to slap together a quick test, and going fullscreen from within a frameset malfunctions pretty much as expected. It fills the frame, but not the browser window. Same result in FF, Chrome, and IE.

Yep. So basically html5 does not support this use case (and it shouldn’t).

Yep, this does what mine does as well. I could see people using this to show banners in full screen mode though :-S

Why not just use <marquee>, perhaps with some nice <blink> effects? ;)
