Embedding liveleak video works OK - using an embed code pasted into HTML view gives the desired effort for PC. But, using a mobile the embedded video appears off the screen which is not nice. (tested using Iphone/ipad - note: simple:press forum in question is configured to use responsive theme for mobile/tablets).
If I set the width of embedded video to 100% then this works for mobile/tablets however on PC it gives ghastly bars either side of the video.
I was thinking to use max width css styling but this whole procedure is becoming quite complicated for simply posting a video.
Any tips on how to do this would be appreciated.
I was trying to give an example using following embed code but I don't have permissions to embed an iframe.
<iframe src="http://www.liveleak.com/ll_embed?f=848cbd78cb89" height="360" width="640" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>

I am going to have to consult on this one. I believe the Wp theme may play more of a part in this than meets the eye and specifying a definite width for the iframe is going to force that width no matter how much real estate you have..
So - anyone with any advice?

btw, it seems to be the same for YouTube videos also

odd - not normal for wp.... agree it sounds like something in the wp theme... but cant tell without seeing... do you have an example you can provide a link to?
also, jetpack is known to sometimes mess up video width - but not sure about just with mobile (even stranger)..

Hi,
I have created a special test forum and added a few examples of both liveleak and youtube and given examples of the way i have embedded it and also taken some screenshots showing the way it looks on an iphone (ios7 - safari). You can check with mobile and/or PC if you like to see what I mean:

I am using a wp theme by 'yootheme' which is built on warp framework.
I also notice a few other observations with respect to embedding html behaviour but perhaps I shouldn't go into this right now otherwise it might confuse things.

It looks like what you are going to have to do is edit the Unified theme and add some CSS for width for the smaller screen sizes.
You could try setting the CSS width to 100% for mobile devices only. Something like

Many thanks all, nice idea with css!
I used a custom css wp plugin and added to it:
@media only screen and (max-width: 768px){
.spPostContent iframe { width: 100%; }
}
This solves a few problems

Brandon, any idea how I would fix this? I have these in my wp theme css to force the videos to 16x9, they keep showing as 4x3, I also added the code above to keep the videos on mobile from overlapping
/* Simplepress mobile iframe width 100% for liveleak and youtube videos etc */
@media only screen and (max-width: 768px){
.spPostContent iframe { width: 100%; }
}
.spPostContent iframe {
max-width: 640px !important;
max-height: 360px !important;
}
it looks fine on landscape, but when holding vertical, the youtube box is quite large, it's not that big of a deal, just wondered if you had any suggestions
