In elk_jquery_embed.js:
Code: (find) [Select]
args = handler(m[2], tag, false);
Code: (replace with) [Select]
args = handler(m[2], tag, true);

FA MALEEE!!! O_O

Just realize that embedding the video from the start vs just showing a preview image does have additional overhead for the end user.  Meaning it will slow a page load, more videos on a page, the more it has to fetch to be ready.

@Spuds , can we replace the border ( not very cute in my opinion ) and replace it with a base preview image ?

The easiest way to do that is with the custom.css file in your themes base css directory.
Code: [Select]
.elk_videoheader {
	display: none;
}
.elk_video {
	border: none;
}
add the above to that file and the border and header will go away.

Thanks @Spuds .  Is there any specific use for that frame ?

No not really

The header allows to slide hide the video, that could be done other ways as well.   The "issue" is that the header is a fixed width and really should be dynamically set based on the size of the video that gets embedded.  But with a fixed width it looks pretty silly without the border around the video.

imo, that frame is just to advice users that there is a video, otherwise without the controls from youtube could seem a normal image embedded

Could probably just overlay the play icon on the image as well.

You can try changing the css, not sure if it will have other side effects.   So change .elk_videoheader to
Code: [Select]
.elk_videoheader {
    padding: 0 4px 0 6px;
    /* max-width: 98%; */
    /* width: 630px; */
    border: 1px solid;
}

and .elk_video to
Code: [Select]
.elk_video {
    display: block;
    max-height: 480px;
    /* width: 640px; */
    height: auto;
    border: 1px solid;
    border-top: 0;
}

probably not the effect / result you are after though.

Sorry to necro this thread, but recently found myself having to do the same thing (alignment of embedded video) the best solution i found was to change display: block; to display: inline-block; on the elk_video containers (including videoheader) and now it works with alignment bbc.
