Setting custom aspect ratio dynamically

[hanky]

Is it possible to change aspect ratio to some custom value dynamically using libvlc_video_set_aspect_ratio? Ideally I would like to set the same aspect ratio as the player window has on its resize.

Currently I can onle change aspect ratio to some standard values like '1:1' or '4:3'. Setting a custom value using libvlc_video_set_aspect_ratio while video is playing seems to have no effect.
In order to apply custom settings I have to restart the playback:

Code: Select all

libvlc_video_set_aspect_ratio(vlcPlayer, /* some custom value */); libvlc_media_player_stop(vlcPlayer); libvlc_media_player_play(vlcPlayer);

How do I set custom aspect ratio without playback restart?

I think you need to fix libVLC for that.

And what is the main difference between setting standard and custom aspect ratio? Why do changes apply on the fly for standard values and do not for custom values?

How do you give the custom value?

I set it just like standard values:

Code: Select all

// standard libvlc_video_set_aspect_ratio(vlcPlayer, "4:3"); //custom libvlc_video_set_aspect_ratio(vlcPlayer, "123:77");

Yeah, I believe the core needs fixes for that.
