return property('System.Video.HorizontalAspectRatio', <cc_item>) . ' : ' . property('System.Video.VerticalAspectRatio', <cc_item>);

Using this I'm getting '1 : 1' for all of my videos, which is false. Any hints?

Confirmed, same here. Can't do anything, guess this one goes to Microsoft.

Just as I thought: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... 85%29.aspx
It's not about the video aspect ratio, but the pixel aspect ratio - which is usually 1:1.

Which means I suppose you need to do something like this depending on the format you desire...

Code: Select all

  echo round(property('System.Video.FrameWidth', <curitem>) / property('System.Video.FrameHeight', <curitem>), 2);  // which yields 1.78 equivalent to 16x9
or
  echo property('System.Video.FrameWidth', <curitem>) . ' : ' . property('System.Video.FrameHeight', <curitem>);    // which yields 1280 : 720

One good thing about using these 'system' type properties is that they are not language dependent therefore better for scripts. Aspect Ratio is easier for images.
