Can't work out parameter format for LibVLC functions

[Domarius]

Stab in the dark here but try player.video_set_aspect_ratio('16:9')

Geez, that worked! Thank you!

I had already moved to the player.method(parameters) style, as opposed to method.(player, parameters), but I only gleaned that from an example I found, nothing in the documentation led me to think that was possible.

So, in the interests of teaching a man to fish, how did you think to try '16:9'? I had tried that I swear, but maybe not with the player.method() style. I find it strange that we had to "stab in the dark" instead of the documentation giving us the info...

And also where did you get the inclination that the player.method() syntax was possible?

Man I tried vlc.libvlc_video_set_aspect_ratio(player, '16:9') and like I thought - that still gives the error! But for some reason, player.video_set_aspect_ratio('16:9') works...
