videojs disable black background

videojs (v3.2.0) always shows a black background, when loading the video in swf mode. Does someone know how to change that?

You can add swf params like that to the player:

var params = {};
params.bgcolor = "#ffffff";
params.wmode = "transparent";

V.options.flash.params = params;

With wmode = "transparent" you can see a black box in the top left corner. On IE7/8 the box does not disappear when playing the video and shows up as a black line around the video (like a black border-top).

Many thanks, Florian

ahh I just found this: http://help.videojs.com/discussions/problems/1220-black-square-in-flash-file

there it is recommended to compile the swf yourself with flash builder. you can download the project here: https://github.com/zencoder/video-js-swf

Then you can set your own swf with custom background color like that:

var params = {};
params.bgcolor = "#ffffff";
_V_.options.flash.swf = "videojs/VideoJS.swf";
_V_.options.flash.params = params;

hope videojs will soon update their selfhost-download and the CDN with a proper swf included. cheers, Florian
