I created a player, under advanced i set strecthing to fill.

I then used this code [jwplayer|config=player]

the file plays but i have to click the video and select "fill" as it is keeping uniform as its default

Firefox or ie8
drupal 6
current recommended version of jw player

Hi tecdragon,

This functionality should definitely work. I test it on my own machine and fill seemed to work properly.

Just to confirm, is the name of the player you created called "player"? Also, have you tried clearing your browser cache? Since the module uses xml configuration files for the player, these files can sometimes get cached and not immediately reflect the changes you made.

Thanks.

Yes I can confirm that the caching of the config XML files by the flash player or the browser can be extremely stubborn.

During development, I often open the config XML file directly in a browser windows, then force a reload, then reload the drupal page with the jwplayer in it. I wish there was a way of forcing the JWplayer to read the latest version of the XML.

Yeah, there's not much the JW Player can do. It can only work with what the browser gives it and it's the browser that does the caching. In the future we might move away from the config files to avoid this issue.
