Video 100% width and height


I have a video, and I want it to FILL 100% of the width, and 100% of the height. And keep the aspect ratio.

Is it possible that it at least fills 100% for both? And if a bit of the video has to be out of the screen to keep the aspect ratio, that doesn't matter.

HTML:

    <video preload="auto" class="videot" id="videot" height="100%" preload>
    <source src="BESTANDEN/video/tible.mp4" type="video/mp4" >
    <object data="BESTANDEN/video/tible.mp4" height="1080">
        <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
        <param name="autoplay" value="false" >
        <param name="loop" value="false" >
    </object>

CSS:

 .videof, .videot {
    width: 100%    !important;
    height: 100%   !important;
 }

Solution

  • You can use Javascript to dynamically set the height to 100% of the window and then center it using a negative left margin based on the ratio of video width to window width.

    var $video  = $('video'),
        $window = $(window); 
    
    $(window).resize(function(){
        var height = $window.height();
        $video.css('height', height);
    
        var videoWidth = $video.width(),
            windowWidth = $window.width(),
        marginLeftAdjust =   (windowWidth - videoWidth) / 2;
    
        $video.css({
            'height': height, 
            'marginLeft' : marginLeftAdjust
        });
    }).resize();
