Freezes FF and doesn't work
I've implemented it like so:
$(".content-promo .slideshow video").objectFit({ type: "cover", hideOverflow: true });
In FF 35, it doesn't have any effect. Also, resizing the screen makes slows the browser down more and more and more, and then freezes. The video in question is absolutely positioned to 100% of the width&height of the viewport.
This plugin is designed to work with images, rather than videos. As far as I know, Videos already have a way to keep the aspect ratio correct built-in to the browser.
Have you got an example I can take a look at (JS Fiddle or something)
Sorry, for this particular case, I can't easily extract it into a Fiddle.
So no videos? Hm. Yes they already keep aspect ratios alright. But they always follow the "contain" principle, where I'm looking to get them to follow the "cover" principle. object-fit does this very nicely on Chrome & its sisters, but FF and IE are still lacking this. Which is why I came across this script ;)
