Video thumbnails not showing on main page | Forum

After entering the video embed code, I am not seeing the thumb on the main page. I only see a camera avatar. Any idea what needs to be changed to see the thumb of each video?

Hi
Oxwall's basic video plugin can crop video thumbnails only for the videos embedded from the following video sharing services:

http://www.youtube.com/
http://video.google.com/
http://www.metacafe.com/
http://www.dailymotion.com/
http://www.pornhub.com/
http://vids.myspace.com/
http://vimeo.com/
http://blip.tv/
http://www.guba.com/
http://www.bigtube.com/
http://www.tnaflix.com/

For all other videos, you will see a default video thumbnail with camera. But if you have a little bit of PHP experience, you can simply add thumbnail support for other video sharing services.

Let me know if you have any questions :)

Well you asked for it. Here is one of mine LOL

I have no idea how to disable the code so the video doesnt actually come up.

Youtube changed some parameters in URLs to video thumbs. We will include this fix in BEta 3.
Thanks you all for this report guys :)

Can I point out a flaw...
I have a user who posted a facebook video and the thumb isnt showing.
You allow facebook connects but the video is NOT in the list but myspace is!!!

This is a bit ironic!
Can this be fixed? (or can we add our own thumbnails)

Hmm, is it possible to embed videos from facebook? Would you provide me with instructions how can this be done?

If you have a facebook profile and on your profile you enabled the video tab, in there when you select a video, there is an embed link.
Sets up like this...

< 0bject width="224" height="400" >

I added in spaces int he code to stop it actually embedding... I am sure you can work it out...

NO PROBS. The vid worked, just no thumbnail!

Checked it. This is impossible, coz facebook don't allow to get video's thumb by any parameter from embed code. By this way video plugin crops thumbnails from video sharing resources.

I am using clipbucked v2 for serving the videos to the oxwal.

We can't provide you with instructions on how to modify the code. Maybe posting a job at the market would be a better idea?
