What you are seeing is _not_ flowplayer, but rather a problem with the site you're using. If you have any problems, you can find my contact info on my website. Best, David Hi Loren,

I've been uploading videos to a site that publishes lots of them and uses Flowplayer. I've discovered that Flowplayer does not support either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios. All my vids are stretched to fit and appear distorted. No one has been able to present me a workable solution. I'm frustrated and angry. BAD. Frankly, I think Flowplayer is a really bad program.

Ideally I want the video to play fullscreen or full browser page automatically when visitors come to the site and then when the video is finished be redirected to the existing homepage. Also don't want that splash video to display unless they're coming to the homepage from another side (i.e. shouldn't display if they return to the homepage from somewhere else on my site). Thank you!! Nick Hi Michael,

Thank you , exactly what I needed. Short and to the point, no fluff. You made it super easy. 5 stars!

I'll keep an eye out for similar issues and update you. @Luis – i’m out of ideas but from your description, it may have something to do with permissions.

I have checked this. The code you mention is at the end of the file I’m editing (index.php). Everything in the template seems to work properly. I just can’t get the player to display the video. Both video and player paths looks alright. I think that the “<?php if…” code is right placed. As I mentioned, I just see a blank square with the dimension stated in the code: there is no player and I just get a pop-up for downloading the file when I click the blank square. I have tried it with Saiweb’s Flowplayer for WordPress too but it does not work. Maybe I’m copying the code in the wrong place? I’m a freelancer videographer and an absolute newbie to wordpress, so maybe I’m just missing something very easy… Thanks again for your help! Thanks Michael.
