Comment (by bradyvercher):

 I've looked into this a bit and there isn't really a great solution. The
 iframe that contains the video is automatically stretched to fill the
 screen, but YouTube has a resize handler that adjusts the dimensions of
 the video so that it always fits the screen rather than fill the iframe as
 desired.

 I did go ahead and [https://github.com/bradyvercher/custom-header-youtube
 put together a quick plugin] that attempts to counteract YouTube's
 behavior by resizing the iframe to ensure the video always fills the
 container. I haven't done much testing with Twenty Seventeen and it only
 works with widescreen videos at the moment, but otherwise it should be
 pretty solid.
