ERROR: type VideoReader has no field height

I wanted to try the example given at the docs. However, it doesn't seem to work. Either this is a bug or the docs would benefit a lot from an example that can be "copy pasted into somewhere" and just works.

Ah, that function is an extra that's not covered by tests hence appears to have broken in the v0.9 update.

It should work with v0.8

We should fix it and either add it to the test suite, or remove it in the next breaking release, and finish one of the video viewer packages that have been started in the past
