bounding box for folium.raster_layers.VideoOverlay() seems to be ignored.

[Casco2]

I'm trying to overlay an mp4 video onto a folium map using folium.raster_layers.VideoOverlay().
I'm not sure where to report this problem I have, but it was submitted to stackoverflow on Jan. 21, 2025. The full report is at:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79375677/python-folium-raster-layers-videooverlay-video-not-filling-bounding-box

The complete description of the problem is given there, with the code I used, and resulting graphs. I would love to have someone here take a look to see if they can offer any help.
Thanks, Ernie True

Sorry to hear this is not working for you. I answered on StackOverflow, since (at first glance) this seems to be more of a question than a bug in Folium.

Hi Hans, Thanks for the idea about trying the VideoOverlay with https://www.mapbox.com/bites/00188/patricia_nasa.webm It shows that this map seems to be experiencing the same problem I am having, namely that the video does not seem to fully fill the bounding box. I’m wondering if this is a problem with some leaflet source code. I have looked at the file leaflet-src.js, authored by Vladimir Agafonkin at https://leafletjs.com<https://leafletjs.com/>. It sets the keepAspectRatio option to True as the default. But my bounding box maintains the aspect ratio anyway. I’ll keep looking, and thanks again for the help.

Hi Ernie, I think you are right. This looks like an issue inside the Leaflet.VideoOverlay code. Folium is just a simple wrapper around Leaflet. You may get better help if you ask a question in the Leaflet community. I will close this issue here.
