Hi Heidi,

Thanks for your quick response!

We did this because we were unable to find a cross-browser css solution that looked good consistently, with the current markup. Maybe if we revisit the way divs are layered/structured next time around, a more fluid full-screen cross-browser layout would be possible. Till then, we had to go with what worked and looked good!

Okay, fair enough. Do you have a sense of how much time it would take to address this issue for the next release of Video Player?

But we also set a background colour to video-element, to improve the display of our widescreen vids, and this should likely be added to the core. I'll create a jira for this.

Cool. I'm wondering if perhaps some of this styling advice is the sort of thing that we'd want to offer as documentation to a user of the Video Player? "How to make the Video Player look amazing in your site." What do you think?
