Resize window to 1:1 of newly opened video

[Cody Garver]

Right now window size is hard-coded. The solution lies in sink.get("window-height".. http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-plugins/html/gst-plugins-base-plugins-xvimagesink.html

as I thought, sink.get("window-height") or ("window-width") will just report the current size of the window the video is being drawn to, not of the media

You'll also have to get screen size and not make the window larger than the screen size.

What about the following proposal:

if (video.height >= screen.height || video.width >= screen.width) {
  maximise()
} else {
  resize()
}

Another option is to limit by, lets say 90% of the available screen.

As far as I can see at this moment the only way to get the real available screen size is to actually maximise using the window.maximise call, then wait until the window manager actually resized the window (see http://osdir.com/ml/gnome.gtkmm/2004-01/msg00185.html), store that size and then resize again if needed. But I guess this won't look nice.

I'm scaling it down to 90% (mazimizing would take you to fullscreen), but couldn't test it (no large videos). Would be nice if someone could have a look at it and if necessary reopen (or even fix!) the bug. :)
