There's apparently some magic trick I'm not aware of here. I've got an flv file uploaded to a cck filefield, and with the generic flv player it always comes up 320x275 no matter what flv I upload. I actually tried a slew of other embedding methods and was unable to change the size on any of them. Read all the documentation, tried embedding with swf method, input filter, etc., tried to pass the params but it just ignores them.

Anyone know how to get this done?

Surely I'm not the only person that's ever had this problem?

You can change the default video dimensions at admin/settings/swftools/flowplayer3 (I'm using flowplayer3, yours might be different).

I was also able to use this code to change the size on a per node basis:
[swf file="docarbsmakeyoufat.flv" width="500" height="300" image="delosrios-0166.3.jpg"]
to do three things:
1. call the flv file
2. size the video
3. use an image place holder on top of the video

Hope that helps!
