Forums » Help » Embedding YouTube: Minimum Height/Width?

Dog

After a whole lot of trial and error with the end result remaining "Player is too small"..

Is there a minimum width and height for youtube videos, so that it still works, and yet does not take up a tremendous portion of the profile as a full-size video would? I mainly use Youtube videos to add music to a character's page.

The code on RPR isn't responsible for whether or not Youtube videos play at certain heights/widths. That's an issue occurring from Youtube's end, so it might be worth checking out their requirements for embedding sizes.

That said, I haven't found a height/width myself yet that works for every video. Some accept it, others keep giving me the error message that the player is too small.

I suggest increasing the height and width by 50 pixels each time until it works. :) You'll probably have to try this for every individual video though.

Ah. Figured as much.
Will continue to experiment with different videos 'til I get one that works. Thanks, Sanne!
