Help! I've recently discovered (to my great dismay...) that the aspect ratio on several of my posts has spontaneously changed from 16x9 to 4x3, producing a horizontally squished image!!! It's awful....
Now, the strange thing is that the "thumbnail" frame is displaying at the right ratio, but the video plays at the wrong ratio!
These posts have a sordid history here on WP, due to the fact that when I first uploaded them (many moons ago) they were playing back in 4x3.
After some back and forth in this forum, one of the WP engineers suggested including the following phrase in the brackets that contain the video when inserting it in a post: w=500 h=281
I did so, and this solved the problem, stretching the video back out to its correct 16x9 ratio. Now that is no longer working apparently..... (FYI: When I removed the "w=500 h=281", all that changed was that the thumbnail preview displayed in 4x3 too....
Any ideas?? I'm completely stumped.....
BTW: If I upload these videos to Facebook, youtube, vimeo, et all, I have no problems... So what's wrong with WP???
