    I'm working with the Digital pro theme and I've tried two of Brad Dalton's instructions to place a Soliloquy slider in the header of theme (http://wpsites.net/web-design/add-slider-background-to-the-minimum-pro-theme/ and http://wpsites.net/best-plugins/installing-full-width-responsive-slider/).

    I've chosen a video slider rather than images, but I am unable to scale the video to fill the frame completely. I've used Soliloquy's instructions to scale the images width and height and got the video to fill the frame width-wise, but not height-wise. When the page loads, I want to see just the video, not the black frame at the top and bottom.

    I've also tried adding the slider as a widget, but I have the same problem where the video does not fill the frame. I've also played with the dimensions of the slider, but if I manage to get to almost fill the frame, the video is blurry.

    Any ideas how I can remove the black around the video?
