My request for your Video Embedding Tool: please allow customization of BOTH height AND width of the video (some videos don't have the same aspect ratios as others). Currently I use the YouTube Extension for YouTube and the Video Embedding Tool for other sites, because YouTube has such a wide variety of aspect ratios in its videos and I like to match them, and the YouTube Extension allows customizing both width and height while the Video Embedding Tool only allows customizing width and decides the height on its own. See this page on my wiki for an example of how I embed a video with a 5:4 aspect ratio from YouTube by using the following code:

There is also a bug in the YouTube Extension: its maximum height SHOULD be 385 (video height of 360 plus YouTube's 25-pixel-tall controls) rather than 355 (video height of 330 plus YouTube's 25-pixel-tall controls). The YouTube Extension's Wikia Help page SAYS the maximum height is 385 but in practice it always comes out as a height of 355 if you try any height higher than 355.

I have already submitted a bug report about both of these problems but not heard anything back yet.
