Wordpress widget video size issue

Question

I am embedding Livestream into a wordpress site via a widget on the landing page www.durbantv.net

A recent upgrade has seemingly brought in Adobe flash, affected the size of the video screen on this landing page widget only. It now also doesn’t immediately play but holds a thumbnail which the viewer clicks on to play the Livestream.

My major concern is that that the screen size has reduced to 300 x 150 even though the embed code states 640 x 385px. I have tried various options to change the size via CSS code..this only changes the video size but not the flash player box so I end up with a quarter of my video being viewable?

I have asked the web developer, Wordpress and Livestream about the change in screen size but no suggestions have fixed the issue.

Can this automatic Adobe flash window size be over-ridden or made to fit the video size instead of the video fitting the Adobe flash player?

NB..I have the same embed code on another page DUrbanTV Live>>> on the same site (not in a widget) and this has stayed the correct size screen.

New size issue image on landing page...doesn't fill the whole widget area as it did previously

DUrbanTV Live>>> same embed code ..no reduction??

This isn't an automatic Flash Player window size. In fact, Flash Player isn't even a video player. Like Java, Flash Player is a language runtime. Other people can write a video player based on Flash technology, but we're focused on low-level tasks like processing the compiled bytecode, making memory accesses and rendering pixels to the screen.

Also, the size of the Flash Player window is bound by the size of the enclosing iFrame. Inspect it with your browser's developer tools. I assume you've defined that iFrame in your CSS somewhere. Regardless, it isn't a Flash Player issue.
