Read Video Height / Width via Api

[hogi82]

Someone got an idea how to read-out the original video width and height of a video?

I'm currently trying
VLC_VariableGet(vlc, 'height', val);
but this does not seem to be correct, since values like "556374" were returned...

[m.e]

I would also like to know how to do this using activex if it's even possible.
