Hi Patrick

Would you have a URL to an example of your background header video?

http://d1189658-102128.blacknighthosting.com/modelnsmonaghan.com/
is the test Page I have it assigned to

What My Goal would be is to some how crop or position the video
#bgvid {
position: absolute;
}
So that the it only appeared inside the red box. It that Possible?

For instance in
http://d1189658-102128.blacknighthosting.com/modelnsmonaghan.com/index.php/features/colour-choosers

The video and menu are in the right position, BUT I just want the video to FILL the width in the background

did the image upload?

Successful Upload?

Hi Patrick

As Youtube places the video in an iframe, they can be a little tricky to customize. Could you see if the following Custom CSS gives you the desired effect?...

#player {

    transform: scale(4);

}

Ciarán

Thanks Ciaran, But That Didn't seem to do anything.

I suppose it is the fact that we are locked into the youtube player

I'm not really in a big rush, but my long term dream would be to have video banners like this
https://www.bannerflow.com/ in Joomla51

Thank you Patrick for the suggestion.

We will certainly look in to adding this feature. Our more recent templates uses the Vegas slidshow (https://vegas.jaysalvat.com/) which allows for video so it should not be to difficult to add the feature.

Tease not!! you say....
"Our more recent templates uses the Vegas slideshow"
which templates ?

Hi Patrick

Any template that includes an option in the template settings to add multiple background images generally use the Vegas script.

We have reached a stumbling block regarding Joomla allowing the selection of video with media fields however I have noticed a PR was put in this morning relating to this... https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/19967

Presuming this PR gets merged, we can then proceed to adding the feature to our templates.

Thank you Ciaran,
I have set that topic to "Watch" in Github....and will come back to you on this topic when(if) it is resolved.
Thanks again!
