We massively use the embed function for myspace videos and suffer a big problem with the new player design:

It does not support small video window sizes (e.g. width 170px)! The old player supported small sizes.

You can see the mess here (german site):

I know that it might be not too smart too WATCH a video that small, but that is not the point: It is very usable to BROWSE videos, and if you want to, you can can click to enlarge.

Does anybody has a solution to that problem?

i liked it when i could use it, now it just doesn’t play anything, it shows the myspace logo with the spinner around it but it never loads the video, this happens with any myspace video, even the one on this page.

nice work
i just got some small dropouts on my sempron @ 1800 mhz.
myspace badly needs some performance improvements
most of the times one myspace page is decelerating my system by 80% and more
therefore i am avoiding to go there
with sometimes 10 or more instances of the flashplayer on one site
which all seem to consume performance even when they are not active.
the inactive instances should be stopped.
only 1 instance can have the focus so this should be possible to improve.
keep on flashing and benchmark everything

nice!
if you’re still working on it, i have a small suggestion:
keyboard control (play/pause)

peace,

Far better that the old one, but there ain’t no way to resize the player in fullscreen mode.

Videos are so crappy some time, be able to make them smaller even in fullscreen mode would be nice, like with the middle mouse scroller. I did it with the JW Player and its nice.

One feature that seems to have been removed for your version is the ability to shrink the video to original size if it was too small for the viewer window. YouTube also removed this feature, which pissed me off becomes sometimes a video is uploaded so low-res that you just have to shrink it down to make it not look horrible.

Just love it! I hated the old one as I could not scroll properly
