Hi,

I've noticed that after I update a node with a video_cck field in it (even if I don't change anything, just edit the node and hit submit) the thumbnails disappear. I was wondering if anyone else could replicate this problem and if what the fix would be.

I just noticed that this module was deprecated! I may try switching to the new project to see if that will fix this, but am a little concerned about losing the video media that I've already added.

that doesn't happen to me. can you paste a link to a video url (from youtube or whoever) that you're using?

it could be a cache problem. i've experienced a problem with youtube thumbnails & cache, where the cache needs to be cleared. if you don't have devel installed or a command line interface, you could try to db_query("DELETE FROM {cache}"); from a php-enabled page (just preview it, don't save) to see if that fixes it. let me know if it does -- i still need to track down that particular bug, and maybe it's related.

All right,

after further investigation, this is not a Video CCK problem, sorry for the confusion.

I have a CCK Imagefield (with imagecache) to hold an alternate thumbnail or in cases where the video provider doesn't offer thumbnails (as is the case with some of the "private" provider files I set up to source wmv and avi files). Any ways, in the theme for my video node, the test to see if the alternate thumbnail is empty is failing, due to a bug described in http://drupal.org/node/138879 It's supposed to test for the alternate and if it's not there, try to display the normal thumbnail.

Basically image cache is returning an image code even if the image is not there... what confused me was that I had created some of those nodes before adding the alt thumbnail feature, so it wasn't until I edited/updated those nodes the imagecache bug asserted itself.

Thanks for your help.
