Responsiveness lost?

    I have two video plugins in my website, Viper’s Quicktags (to support other video providers) and Artiss Youtube Embed.

    I love how your plugin reduces the browser load when viewing a page, making it render faster.

    However, I am losing video “responsiveness”:
    1) When the post containing the video is loaded on a mobile device (or a resized browser), the picture of the video maintains the dimensions set in the general options (if no other have been provided in the shortcode)
    2) after the play button is clicked and the flash loads, the video does not resize then either, but extends beyond the borders of the screen in the initial dimensions (it does so, however without causing a horizontal browser bar to show up).

    Is there a way to get it to display in a responsive way?

    If I remember correctly with that caching plugin I experienced problems even with it switched off – I think some the functionality (such as “cleaning” the outputted code) still works.

    You can tell it’s doing this because if you look at the page source the video should have HTML comments around it identifying it’s coming from my plugin – these are actually missing, a result of the cache plugins.

    I ran a quick test on a test WP installation: I tried totally disabling WPSC, clearing Youtube Embed’s cache (and browser cache), enabled the “dynamic resize” and “max width” options of the player and with Firefox I get
    – losing float value (in fact aligning to the opposite side)
    – no wrapping text
    – the video not quite fitting within the video player, i.e. the video is cut in its borders (not visible) as if it has been zoomed and cropped, somehow not keeping the set max width values…
    …these are kept for the player, but not the video…

    When the video is cropped like that it’s usually due to your theme (I haven’t been able to re-create this any other way). The responsive method I’ve implemented is not at 100% cast-iron guarantee and there are many things that can interfere with it.

    I have tried with the following popular themes: Twenty Twelve, Responsive, silverOrchid, Mantra, Catchbox….they are all giving me the same results.

    I have enabled debug and I am getting the following errors on the frontend…don’t really know if they are related to the issue at hand

    Notice: Use of undefined constant SHORTCODE_PRIORITY - assumed 'SHORTCODE_PRIORITY' in /home/mydomain/public_html/mysite/wp-content/plugins/youtube-embed/includes/aye-add-scripts.php on line 14

    The first one isn’t critical – I’ll look at fixing this in a future release.

    The second one confirms that I’ve been saying – W3 Super Cache is causing the error with my plugin in this case. When I can I’ll set up a test site with W3 Super Cache installed and try and re-create the problem – I may be able to find away round it.
