Hello there,

I have simple question, let’s see if there’s a solution for this one. On the Sushi template, I’ve changed the video background of the main section. The thing is that I am using a video from youtube (I think that’s the only way) and despite of being 1080p on youtube, on my website it looks so low quality, which destroys completely the good look of the video.

Thanks you!

Cheers

Hi pablo231293,

I you can’t control the video quality. YouTube adapts it automatically depending on internet speed and device size. Also, keep in mind that the video will be stretched so it covers the entire area where it’s set to be used as a background, so the size of the area would also affect the quality.

Could you please give us a link where we can see the problem “live”?

I’ve tried to post the URL, creating another post with the same issue, and both of them are pending of approval. It looks like you are not interested in solving it…

homiess.es is the URL

Hi pablo231293,

Your posts were automatically held for moderation because they contain more than 1 link. It’s not about “not interested in solving it. I can see in your website code that the video is displayed in 640×480 mode. Could you, please give us temporary admin access to your site, so we can check why it is like that?

Alright, but how do I do that? Creating a new user for you and sending you the credentials via private message?

[Althemist]

Yes, just create a new admin user. Alternatively, you can give us your account and change the password after that.

You can post it here. Just don’t forget to mark the “set as private reply” checkbox.

Hi pablo231293,

I have just checked it. While the video itself is 1080p, it’s set to default 720p on you tube, so when embedded it takes the same size. The default resolution must be changed in the youtube account.
