[Plugin: FitVids for WordPress] Set a max width?

Actually this didn’t work. It messed with the video’s proportions.

———————
It’s okay. I used this and it works …

div.post-body p object {
	max-width: 70%;
	padding: 0;
}

css is the solution for sure.

Here’s a pull request with this type of functionality: https://github.com/davatron5000/FitVids.js/pull/19
I took the latest commit and replaced the plugin js with it (note it has a maxWidthDefault parameter).

You can set a max-width for the container. For example, on a page of videos, you could use

.post-12 .entry-content {
    max-width: 500px; /* set explicit width of container, because fitvids makes videos 100% width */
}

If you can’t do that because the videos are mixed with other content, this CSS gets pretty close. In this example, I want my videos to have a max-width of 500px and max-height of 281px, but you can change these to the sizes you want.

.fluid-width-video-wrapper { /* fitvids */
    padding-top: 281px !important; /* override fitvids-generated padding; too much padding at full size */
}
.fluid-width-video-wrapper iframe { /* fitvids */
    max-width: 500px; /* prevent videos from stretching too wide */
    max-height: 281px;
}
