Video options issue in VLC 1.2.0

[PetC]

Hi,

in VLC 1.1.0 I created media in python script with already added options for video width and height, e.g.
media= instance.media_new(<path>,"width=<..>","height=<..>")

I switched to vlc 1.2.0 and this method doesn't work anymore. What's more, add_option nor add_options do not work as well.
Is this a bug or am I missing something? Is there a working way to set the video window size?
Thanks!
Peter
