unable to resize class-video in ZP admin

Trying to change the plugin options for class-video in the admin. My height and width are both stuck at 390 and 520 respectively. When I enter different values and hit save, the screen merely reloads with the 390 & 520 values. Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug?

    The reason I'm asking is:

    When ZP attempts to play MOV files in Windows 7 (tried both Firefox and Chrome) the video are slightly stretched, resulting in some unsightly pixellation. When I play them by simply entering the video file location in the browser there is no stretching - it's only when ZP tries to play in image.php. Anyone else have this problem?

    I was able to change the dimensions (and thereby fix the stretching issue) by manually editing class-video.php. Then the new values were reflected in the class-video control panel (though still unable to modify from there).

    So, what version of zenphoto are you using?

    I'm running 1.3.

    Actually those values should work and did the last time we tried. Of course hte class video width and height is only for .mov and .3gp videos. If you use Flvplayer or flowplayer (which I suspect from the other thread) those have their own plugin settings.

    I have not been able to reproduce this on the current nightly build. So you could try that.

    No, most of my video archive is in Quicktime format, I'd just been dabbling a little with Flowplayer.

    I do have to say, ZP appears to have multiple issues with handling and displaying MOV files in image.php - I'm getting all sorts of odd stretching, distorting, and shrinking. It's as if ZP is not recognizing the resolutions correctly.

    However, when I manually navigate to the video file itself (to be played in the browser via QT) rather than playing it in image.php, it displays resolutions properly. Didn't notice this behavior until I started using Windows 7 (64 bit). This is a bit of a drag, as I have hundreds of video clips in MOV format.

    Then help us to find out what is wrong. Generally it is set to `scale="aspect"` to not distort videos. Do your videos really have the internal dimensions set correctly? (Just asking). It could also be a conflict with CSS. Also, we don't know which theme you are using actually.

    Generally a flash player like Flowplayer (or using mp4) is the better option as Windows and Linux users mostly likely don't have Quicktime installed at all.
