fluid_styled_content textmedia CE – width of video elements not available

Fluid Styled Content
Description
When inserting fluid_styled_content's new textmedia content element the output contains the values column.dimensions.width and column.dimensions.height, which store the dimensions of the used media elements.
However, when used with videos, both values are empty. Trying to work around this issue by setting the dimensions manually in tab "appearance" only leads to column.dimensions.height to be filled. column.dimensions.width always stays at '0'.

Hi, Jeff
the {column} contains the already calculated values. If you just state a width it will be present here. If you give a height, only that value is used to scale the media object to a dynamic width. If you want to access the values, you set in your content element in the appearance tab, you can always access those values within your template with {data.imagewidth} and {data.imageheight}.
Does this solve your issue?
Probably you run into the issue that TYPO3 doesn't know a width/height for your video. Maybe we can somehow come up with a fallback for when the asset has no dimensions given.
I'm okay with typo3 not having the natural width and height of a video, however what should work is that I should be able to add static values under "appearance". I suppose that this is how it should work. The manually entered width-value just does not get transferred to the template.
What kind of video type are you using? I did some test with all allowed video types and they scale to the defined dimension.
Can you report the steps you followed to reproduce this issue? As far as I can see, the textmedia element only allows .mp4 and .webm extensions.
