Float values (height divided by width) for other aspect ratios should be defined to ensure the promo screen and player are properly sized for the promo image and content of the video.
data-border-radius	boolean string	-	CSS border-radius for container. This attribute rounds the borders by 8 pixels; however, if you want to define the radius as more or less than 8 pixels, you can enter any integer (instead of true) to define the radius in pixels.
