Looking for a way to add multiple thumbnail sizes for the videos. This is a common feature through the popular video sites.

Comment #1
rosgar commentedYes! multiple thumbnail size to pick instead of one. Well, this can be done by CSS if I add additional thumbnail size in my view using width or height.
Comment #2
aaron commentedthis is available in the dev version: you need to install embedded media thumbnail and imagecache.
Comment #3
CinemaSaville commentedHow is this implemented? I've got both modules installed, and don't see options. Thanks. Also, is it available in the stable version released today 10/21?
Comment #4
jrabeemer commentedI believe it's not in today's release according to the CVS logs and diffs.
Comment #5
aaron commentedthat's correct. it's only in the dev version -- it's working fine however, and it's the only current difference between that and 6-12.
you need to enable embedded media thumbnail and imagecache, create at least one preset, and then the options for that preset appear in the content field display options (also as a view field formatter if views is installed).
implementation: the remote thumbnail is imported to the local files, after which the file is available to imagecache. i created new formatters & theme functions to pull that in.
i've only test it with emvideo right now. some of the presets (such as the default) should work w/ emimage as well, but i haven't tested that yet (which is part of why it's still in dev).
Comment #6
jrabeemer commentedThanks for the feature. It works great on my site with youtube videos. The thumbnails *just work* with downloading and pushing through imagecache. Awesome!
Comment #7
CinemaSaville commentedAaron,
I did all that, but it still doesn't come up in the display options. Could this be related to custom thumbnails not showing up when uploaded? Hate to be the problem child, I love the module, but these things are just not working for me. Any ideas? Thanks.
Comment #8
CinemaSaville commentedOK, got it working, apparently when I upgraded the module it didn't take the first time. Now if we could just get the custom thumbnail feature working, we're golden. Thanks again, Aaron. You're doing a fantastic job.
Comment #9
nitram079 commentedsubscribing - would be ideal to have imagecache presets available directly in the view, as e.g. with content images.
Comment #11
SamSteinig commentedIs this feature now in the current release version?
Comment #12
pprt commentedHas anything been done to make this easier?
From a search, this is a pretty popular request and would complete this module.
Having both a Thumbnail and Small Thumbnail option would do it...
Comment #13
charos commentedImagecache profiles can be used. Just enable "embedded media thumbnail" and "imagecache" modules and you're good to go! Problem is that not all "Media:" modules works good with it. Tested Youtube and works great , but Ted for example is behaving in a weird way.
Comment #14
henno.gous commentedI'm sorry guys, I have to be stupid or something, but this is simply not working for me.
I've got Imagecache enabled and working fine for other purposes on my site. I've also got the Embedded Media Thumbnail module going and I'm getting the Imagecache preset options both on the content type fields display settings and in Views. However, no matter which Imagecache preset I select on the content type or in Views, I keep getting the original video (Youtube) thumbnail (e.g. http://img.youtube.com/vi/rrxdCFKKS58/0.jpg) set to be display at 120x90.
I've also checked that allow_url_fopen is set to ON in my webserver's PHP configuration.
So... any ideas?
