mobile player VAST request: player_width is passing a percentage, rather than a pixel value

Our ads server SpotX requires to the player to provide player_width in VAST request parameters.
We use responsive feature of JW Player 6 (width: 100%).

Unfortunately, player_width is passing a percentage, rather than a pixel value. Because of this, SpotX may flag our player size as "unknown" in their platform, which will prevent us from taking advantage of player size targeting and will likely affect our fill. I also see that player_height is passing as value, which does not match up with the player height I see in my browser.

JW Player should calculate `player_width` for ads dynamically in pixels.

Please help.
