 * I have a space for my Vixy embed that is 640px wide, which I figured would be
   perfect as it would allow 360p video playback.
 * But the Vixy plugin isn’t using the entire width – there are black borders of
   approx 5px either side of the player, and this means it’s having to scale down
   the video slightly and this is causing choppy playback.
 * How can I prevent this, and get the player to use the full 640px width for the
   actual video and not have this small side border?
 * Thanks

 * OK I figured it out – the standard player size of 640×385 doesn’t actually provide
   enough room for all the player controls, so the video is shrunk slightly.
 * I needed to bump the size of the player to 640×390 and now it fills the frame.
