Hi,

First of all, I am considering converting to this module from media_youtube as I think the functionality is much better with a wider range of choices.

The advantage that media has over this module is it's ability to take a snapshot of the video and allow you to manipulate it's output in any thumbnail size you wish.

I need this functionality and it doesnt sound too difficult to implement.

Any ideas guys?

Cheers,

Shaun

I see media_youtube has this: http://img.youtube.com/vi/'. check_plain($parts['v']) .'/0.jpg. That would not be hard to implement, but I'm wondering why you need this? When a video loads, it loads with the start frame, no? Where would an image be shown?

Yes, media:youtube uses it and to good effect - that is what I am using now until this feature is implemented here.

I use views to display recent content in grids - the grids display a thumbnail of images used in the content using imagecache to resize all to the same size.

I need to use this to do the same with the video thumbnail.

To be able to pull it through Imagecache, the image would have to be in a field or similar. This is not something this module will do.
