I’ve got a video (more than one actually, but that doesent matter), here is the JW setup:

  jwplayer('myvideo').setup({
    'allowscriptaccess': 'always',
    'flashplayer': 'video/player.swf',
    'file': 'video/clips/video.mp4',
    'controlbar': 'over',
    'width': 620,
    'height': 480,
  });

In normal mode, it displays fine, however in Fullscreen:

This sucks

The black border is not supposed to be there.

I checked the example in the JW Setup Wizard, and their fullscreen works fine. Why doesent mine? Can it be my video? What should I do? Thanks in advance! 🙂

EDIT: By using stretching = fill, I got it to fill the black borders, however, it makes it too big. I need it to fit the screen size 🙂

    I agree with @Voltron (represent).
    If you speak of the black on the left and right, that’s due to your video resolution ratio. 4:3 and 16:9 are the tow common ratios for monitors. Fullscreen, the ratio will just be whatever your monitor is. So if your video resolution is 1024x720p, someone with a 1024×720- monitor won’t see and black. Simple.

    ETA (due to comments):

    No matter how big the resolution is. It’s the ratio that determines where the black is. It’s just filler. If the black wasn’t there, the video would have to stretch and distort. It’s not the amount of pixels that matters. It’s the width x height ratio that matters.
