Hi... I recently purchased and set up videopress for my self-hosted wordpress site.
It's working fine - apart from that I cannot alter the size of the video player.
The instructions here are very simple - but don't seem to work! Can anyone help?
Here's a copy/paste of the instructions I'm following from the link above.
If you like, you can specify the video’s width value in the shortcode. Example:
[wpvideo 6nd4Jsq7 w=640]

Incidentally, my blog with the video I'm attempting to change the size for is on http://www.invisiblereturns.com

that's really odd.
what's the original video source file dimensions ?
If you can send us more details we can take a look: http://support.wordpress.com/contact/

you can specify w= or h= to control width or height.
Eg:
[wpvideo 6nd4Jsq7 w=640 h=350]
[wpvideo 6nd4Jsq7 h=350]
[wpvideo 6nd4Jsq7 w=640]
or [wpvideo 6nd4Jsq7]

Thanks Raanan - I've just submitted further details to support. The original file dimensions are, I believe 1050x576. (I provided a link to the source file in my support submission).
@hailin - thanks very much for the reply, but that's exactly what I was doing, hence my confusion.
I'll post back the results of my support request when it gets resolved.

Hi there,
I am having exactly the same problem. It is just the same. My post address is http://fuerzasolidaria.org/?p=255. The original video source is:
Codec: mpgv
Resolution: 448x384
Display resolution: 448x384
Frame rate: 30
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi again,
I found a workaround of the resolution issue here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/283393?replies=9.
I would like to know if this is the way WordPress want us to do it or if there is another way like [wpvideo 6nd4Jsq7 w=640 h=350].

Hmm...the workaround works, but...why should I have to explain a workaround to my client who's paying for the service when this feature should be included and functioning correctly?

Hi Raanan - as you requested, I've submitted the details to tech support 3 days ago, but haven't heard anything yet. Can you let me know what kind of timeframe I should expect?
Thanks for your help.

my embed shortcuts dont look the same in my self hosted wordpress. Everybody says they look like
[wpvideo 6nd4Jsq7]
but mine show up as:
[videopress 6nd4Jsq7]
and the w and h extensions don't seem to work on mine?
ANY HELP?

@videopresshosting - sorry for the delay, you should be hearing back shortly.
@actualjobs - can you contact WordPress.com support as well with more details so we can take a look: http://support.wordpress.com/contact/
The forums here are for self-hosted WordPress, and VideoPress is a service of WordPress.com.
thanks.

There is a bug in last version (0.1.2) of wporg videopress plugin.
The bug prevented the parsing of w= and h= and couldn't set the default width and height correctly.
Please update your videopress plugin to the latest version (0.2.0) and these issues should go away.

You can specify the width and height with w= h= syntax. Eg: the following are all valid shortcodes:
[videopress xyz] uses your default theme content_width if present, otherwise uses 400px as width.
[videopress xyz w=640] specifies the width of video to be 640px, while preserving the aspect ratio.
[videopress xyz w=640 h=360] specifies both width and height
[videopress xyz h=300] specifies the height of the video to be 300px, while preserving the aspect ratio.

Thanks Hailin for your reply here as well from the support email.
I've upgraded as you suggested... but entering the line:
[videopress xyz w=640]
I get no video and just the below bit of text instead:
4012" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true">
(see here: http://www.invisiblereturns.com/?p=17)

Hi - Halin (or anyone on the WordPress support team). Are you able to help with this? I've still not been able to use the videopress that I've paid for...
As I said - the problem is that I've followed your recommended steps and get no video and just the below bit of text instead:
4012" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true">
(see here: http://www.invisiblereturns.com/?p=17)
Do you have advice on what I should do next?
Thanks!
