Currently, there is a resize option in the help file, but not in the actual plug-in, which always stretches the video to fullscreen. Would it be feasible to have a scaling option, which allows you to specify the video size as a percentage of the full screen? Or some other way to control the size?

Hi @dschreij !!

Based on your work I've created an alternative plugin to embed a youtube video, as VLC is capable of reproducing stream video too:

• Code: media_player_vlc_youtube
• Snapshot: http://forum.cogsci.nl/uploads/editor/u3/9lmvarxeh74c.png

The plugin is a quick&dirt work, though. But could serve as a first step in the case you wanted to integrate this functionality in media_player_vlc.

The tricky part is python-vlc seems only to be working with youtube videos if you attach the player reproduction list instead of a media source (further info: http://stackoverflow.com/a/29430900).

I hope this work could serve to improve your plugin.
