Small mp4 videos scale up

[LuisBurdallo]

It seems trying to watch some mp4 I have it scales the resolution of the video if they are too small. Anything we can do to avoid this and playback at the original resolution?

How small is your mp4?
There is minimal size for the preview window, so currently the video will be scaled to the minimal size if its smaller.

If we allow video to scale up, then Seer needs a stateful button to switch video size between default size and scaled, just like Image module. I'm not sure about this.

Ok I see it an image can be scale up to it's original resolution when using control then you can pan by click and dragging. That's great. Can't this be applied to a video? Where you can control mouse wheel to do the same? I realize maybe this is what you mentioned on your previous reply? What would be the negative part of adding such feature?

Have you ever seen a video with scrollbar?
Because I haven't.

If the video size is large, we show its original size, then we need to show two scrollbars. That's too weird

[LuisBurdallo]

I didn't mean to add a scrollbar. I mean that the video could behave to change it's scaling to be expanded as you have it now if the video is too small and then it's original resolution. No need for a scroll bar. Just the scrolling capability using shift you already have implemented. Just so everything feels consistent and you don't have to add any button. There would only be 2 states "original and expanded" states. This I guess would only happens for small videos as I guess Seer shows you a 720p video at 720p, right? I mean if the video is large enough it doesn't really scale up. Anyway this was just a small and not very important request. If this is something that could take too long/hard to implement then it won't be worth it for what you get in return. I just happened to have a tool that makes tiny videos and they looked pixelated using Seer that's all.
