How do I style a video with custom height/width? Limited to the presets. [#1091466]

I am testing the Media module for Drupal 7 and have enabled media_youtube and the supporting modules (including styles). I'm trying to understand this new interface as it is radically different from emfield. What I am trying to do is set the default height/width for the youtube player which is being rendered through a CCK field on a node. I can easily get the youtube video to play, but I am limited to a small number of presets for the display.

It looks like I can add styles (admin/config/media/file-styles), but, again, limited to drop-down lists of presets. I'm not entirely sure what this file-styles section is supposed to do for me!

I must be doing something wrong.

Same here...Where do the presents come from? Can they be edited? Created? Added?

You are currently limited to presets. There does not seem to be a UI at the moment.

You can however create your own presets if you have styles module enabled. You can do it with hook_styles_default_presets()

or you can alter the existing presets provided by media_youtube module (this is easier) with
hook_styles_default_presets_alter(&$style) in $styles you get all the presets with their settings which you can override.
