Issues with embedded videos in Oxygen 27.1

Post by clara »

Hi everyone,
we used embedded videos in our Knowledge Center (Webhelp Responsive from DITA). Since Oxygen 27.1, there is a problem with the size of the videos. I have found out that the now used latest DITA-OT supports the width and height attribute (see at https://www.dita-ot.org/dev/release-notes/ under DITA OT 4.3). I assume that this causes our issues.

Details: We use the object element, with the following code:

Code: Select all

<object data="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oCnXCMhpakE" outputclass="iframe">
                        <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
                    </object>
We provide no size as the video should use the available space (responsive layout).

Result in Oxygen 27.0:

(see https://help.bioassay.de/framework/task ... cense.html)

Result in Oxygen 27.1:

The size of course changes when I manually define width and height, but I lose the responsiveness.

And we've tested it with Youtube vidoes, the result is the same:

Are you aware of this issue? Is there a solution or workaround?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello,

The problem has been identified and already been fixed.
The next maintenance build of Oxygen will have the correct classes on the video elements.
Thank you for reporting the issue and sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Julien
