video size ignored

Just to add to this - before anyone suggests it... it is not my FFMpeg install - I can pass size variables in ssh just fine, and the open package video module passes the variables correctly, which I have also tested.

I have the 'default' video settings set to 480x320, however this is always ignored. I have also passed the variable in the FFMpeg command box, which is also ignored.

It states under the size box in the admin section "The default size of the video, if none is given in the [video] tag. Width x Height. Example "450x337"" I have attempted to pass the variable in the [video] tag but it either doesn't work, or I am not entering it correctly. I cannot find any information on these pages or the authors pages which explains how to set dimensions in the [video] tag itself, or that it is even possible aside from that tiny explanation in the admin page.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I believe you will need to play with the ffmpeg command parameter within the FlashVideo Settings. The parameter that you set within the settings page is used for displaying the video... not for encoding. Maybe this needs to be changed for future versions.

Thanks Travist - I have done so. I'm sorry I should have clarified. I see now my statement was a bit confusing. The encoding is fine - I have the params set correctly and the videos are being encoded to the proper sizes. I can download the videos and inspect them to see that they are following the encoding parameters that I have set. It is the display only that I am having an issue with. No matter what I enter in the display size it is ignored, and the player defaults to the same size as the encoded video. Since I have the encoding assigned to maintain aspect ratios this can lead to various sized videos, and rather than the player maintaining its size and fitting the video appropriately, it adjusts to the video. Within JW's FLV player it is possible to set the player to maintain size and fit the video, is it not possible to allow this with this module as well?

To sum up, my goal would be to have the video player be the same size throughout the site, regardless of the size of the video itself, and the video should fit the player, not the other way around - to maintain aesthetics.

I'm encountering the exact same problem in version 6.x. The display for the player on my site is much too big, and entering a different setting for the dimensions has no effect. The problem seems to have started when I switched from PHP version 4 to version 5. That is the only thing I can think of that I changed. Ever since the change, video uploads are displaying in player that is too big for my site. Please help.

As a follow-up, forcing the size with [video: width=450: height=337] does work.
