Trying different options for embedding a Ryecast video.
Admin note: Ryecast embeds will not work by default in WordPress and requires the Additional Tags plugin to be enabled. Without it, blog admins will have their embed code stripped (it works for network admin, though).
Using the Custom HTML block
Best results: Copy the default embed code from Ryecast with the size as 1152 x 648. Do your own width and height calculation based on the default values, i.e. half size 576 x 324. Don’t use the ones listed in the settings in Ryecast.
Below, I am demonstrating each of the default sizes from Ryecast.
HALF the default size 576 x 324 (best option in this WP theme)
Small – 640 x 360
Medium – should be 800×450 but it defaults to 1152 x 648. Weird. Ask Arianne about that.
Large – 960 x 540
50% size (yikes)
Using the Classic editor block
This is pretty much like using the Custom HTML block.
HALF the default size 576 x 324 (Not bad)
Using the embed block
This clearly doesn’t work.
