First I would like to say that I am quite disappointed that R/M’s new Video widget has a MAX of 6mb for INDIVIDUAL plans – this makes no sense – As a paid customer who does not need to build many websites it is very frustrating that I still need to inject code into my site just to have a video which is 50mb or smaller…
The QUESTION – As I can’t use R/M’s new video widget I do need to make the video’s hosted on Vimeo look like the rest of the content on the site with a radius of 12px – How can this be done?
OK Actually I was able to get this working somewhat by injecting some CSS into the code injection widget but this only works once you have found the data-id of the iframe
This CSS
[data-id="REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_IFRAME_DATA_ID"] iframe {
border-radius: 12px!important; /* Adjust the value to change the roundness */
overflow: hidden;
}
So if anyone has any insight as to how to smooth those corners a bit OR make the iFrame be the exact size of the dimensions that you want your video to be (I think this may be the issue) I am all ears
Thanks – I think you may have added some new features to the URL option that were not there in the past… Is that correct? I know in the past I was forced to use iFrames to remove the branding and other video params but now it seems like you have a bunch of that in there now.
Also I think if there were Vimeo specific Params that we wanted to use in our URL hosted videos I think we could add them to the end of the URL is that correct?
Something like this: https://player.vimeo.com/video/YOUR VIMEO ID HERE?h=68064a4c9a&badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479?background=1&autoplay=1&loop=1&autopause=0"
Re: Video size limit restrictions – I will have to disagree with R/M’s logic… I have been with R/M very close to it’s inception and have recommended nearly a dozen current paid users to the platform as I still believe in it but you have done this type of pricing paywall thing time and time again and I always warn the people I recommend that that is a possibility more with R/M then with it’s competitors. I fully appreciate that server space is costly and if you are going to host videos then it could be costly if someone abuses the 50mb video limit and builds a site with 100’s of videos all at the max size – but is that really what is going to happen? All I want as an individual artist is to showcase my work through my site as good as possible – and this site I am currently working on for a friend we will now have either a mix of your much nicer R/M video controls for videos under 6mb and the less nice Vimeo controls for our 10mb videos, this just makes my R/M site seem less professional and reflects poorly on both me and the R/M platform – I could understand making people upgrade for team specific features but that is not the case with this… I hope you and the team reconsider your policies about individual artists and figure out a solution which is more inclusive… (How about a scalable payment for image / video storage that exceeds XX amount which is fair to everyone?) Just some friendly advice.
