Unable to resize different videos

There was a HUGE list of patches that never made it into D6 and I thought I had tackled them all when I started co-maintaining this module a few weeks ago.

So, this is an issue for what? Uploading a video and converting to Flash with ffmpeg or simply playing back an uploaded file and managing the physical display size of the plugin? Or both?

If you want to hard-code a manual size, you can do a quick-and-dirty edit of includes/common.inc and mess with the embed code directly until I can get to porting this old patch to Video.

It's around line 79.

The issue appears to be that when the default width field is blanked (under /admin/settings/video), the perfectly valid integer 0 gets saved and used. A width of 0 results in the video not being displayed. This fix may not be in the correct location, but it worked for me in video.module:

/**
* Scale a video to match the desired width
*/
function _video_scale_video(&$node) {
$def_width = (int) variable_get("video_resolution_width", 400);

// my change, which uses the preset width value if it exists and the default is 0 (or less)
if( $def_width <= 0 && $node->videox )
$def_width = $node->videox;
// the rest of the code hasn't changed

if (!$node->videox || !$node->videoy) {
$height = $def_width * 3 / 4;
} else {
$height = $def_width * ($node->videoy / $node->videox); // do you remember proportions?? :-)
}

$height = round($height);
// add one if odd
if($height % 2) {
$height++;
}

$node->video_scaled_x = $def_width;
$node->video_scaled_y = $height;
}
