Video files not resizing properly on opera browser

[aeonSolutions]

What steps does it take to reproduce the issue?
after uploading a video file to a dataset when opening the dataset page, the video file in the dataset
on loading the webpage the video does not resize properly to match the iframe within the web page. As a consequence, it is impossible to view the video.

Anyone can evaluate this by looking at the file in Harvard's Dataverse at https://dataverse.harvard.edu/file.xhtml?fileId=6963014&version=1.0

When does this issue occur?
when I open a dataset with video files.
when I want to view the video on the webpage itself.

Which page(s) does it occurs on?
in the dataset web page

What happens?
The video file is not resized properly to match the iframe and webpage dimensions.

To whom does it occur (all users, curators, superusers)?
anyone with access.

What did you expect to happen?
I expect to view the video on the dataset web page without any effort.

Which version of Dataverse are you using?
web version hosted at Harvard University.

@aeonSolutions hi! I believe @gwendoux just fix this with this PR:

• reduces max video width to match iframe width gdcc/dataverse-previewers#61

The next steps would be to release a new version of the previewers and install them on various installations, such as Harvard Dataverse.

@qqmyers Who would need to release a new version of the previewers, as per @pdurbin 's question: #283

Transferred the issue, waiting on the next release to test and close.

#61 has been merged and that update is available in the betatest folder and the URL https://gdcc.github.io/dataverse-previewers/previewers/betatest/VideoPreview.html now. (The updated previewer can also be installed locally or one could add the 1 line in the css file from #61 into an existing local install.) So a previewer release is not a technical blocker.

W.r.t. policy/process - there's nothing formal. Releases have usually been done by me when there have been enough updates that it seems worth advertising and having community members run through an update. In general, anyone could call for and add a PR to make a release, but I would say that so far there haven't been as many/as significant changes as we usually waited for. E.g. v.1.4 included 8 new previewers and the update to signed URLs. That was perhaps an overly long wait, but the community had access to all of this via the betatest folder prior to the official release.

@qqmyers Hey Jim, Are you planning on releasing this previewer? There is no labeling or project attached to this issue so it keeps coming up in our biweekly git review. Thanks

[qqmyers]

I'm not planning on a release any time soon. The previewer is usable now either from the betatest folder or by downloading and running the previewer locally.

• Placed on hold. @sbarbosadataverse will monitor and we will revisit during the next Dataverse monthly meeting

2024/11/18: Discussed with @qqmyers this evening. Moving to Sprint Ready.

• Note: Whoever picks up the issue, there is no need for the previewer to be updated. Instead, pick up the latest version in the "betatest folder or the URL https://gdcc.github.io/dataverse-previewers/previewers/betatest/VideoPreview.html" as Jim mentions here: Video files not resizing properly on opera browser #283 (comment).
• I have tentatively sized at 3, please update as needed.
