Hi,
I can see from the latest source code (src/control/video.c) that libvlc_video_get_size, and consequently the deprecated get width/height functions that call it, never return video dimensions any more. It seems this was explicitly disabled with a commit log comment "Disable invalid access of internal vout fields.", here http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=co ... e2c51fb468.
I also spotted this ticket http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/3679.
Is there some other 'correct' way to now query libvlc for the video dimensions, or is it simply not possible at the moment?
Thanks!
