Hello
I had a problem with Daily motion thumbnails as soon as i changed some code for the thumbnail url

I have replaced

function emvideo_dailymotion_thumbnail($field, $item, $formatter, $node, $width, $height) {
return 'http://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/160x120/video/'. $item['value'];
}

by

function emvideo_dailymotion_thumbnail($field, $item, $formatter, $node, $width, $height) {
return 'http://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/160x120/'. $item['value'];
}

in emfield/contrib/emvideo/providers/dailymotion.inc

on line 125

The thumbnails work as expected for me. Marking as postponed for now- can you give me a url of a video that you're having trouble getting thumbnails for?

Thanks!

Moving to Media: Video Flotsam module, where this will be fixed (if it still needs to be fixed).

Hi,

The above fix works for me.

Apparently the url that gets stored for the video ends with /video
so emthumb tries to fetch :

http://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/160x120/video/video/xfuarw_caputo-s...

I also noticed Dailymotion supports larger thumnailsize these days.

for example this video :
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfuarw_caputo-slaat-ploeggenoot-knockou...
has a 160x120 thumbnail at :
http://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/160x120/video/xfuarw_caputo-slaat-p...
and a 320x240 thumbnail at :
http://www.dailymotion.com/thumbnail/320x240/video/xfuarw_caputo-slaat-p...

Thanks for the very useful module emfield module and all the providers that come with it!
