Video Linked Thumbnail not showing!!

mlk_f1 · May 28th, 2007, 11:22 PM

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to get the 'Linked Thumbnail" code work correctly on Video files? The link works fine, but I can't get the picture to show on the link.
Here is an example:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You see, only an X shows, no picture on the link.

Please help!! Thanks

Try reapplying it

mlk_f1 · May 29th, 2007, 08:14 PM

What do you mean by reapplying? I edit the showphoto.php again and overwrite the existing one.

Chuck S · May 30th, 2007, 05:49 AM

You reapply the hack yes

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Please help.

to confirmed, this is what I did:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Didn't work.

Chuck S · May 30th, 2007, 01:47 PM

You did not reapply what is posted above

I did happen to make a change before I said reapply the hack

If you meant the "idir" instead of "imgdir". Yes, I know, it was changed before I reapplied.

OK, I see you changed the media.jpg to video.gif. A thumbnail now shows with the link. But the thumbnail I uploaded with the video is not the one shown with the link above.
The actual thumbnail is this one:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You can see this thumbnail on my gallery here:

mlk_f1 · May 30th, 2007, 02:10 PM

I want to have the link thumbnail show like the photopost gallery at www.clipupload.com

You see it is the actual picture of the thumb for the video:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

See "Relaxing Flight" on the this page.

Well you can try this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

mlk_f1 · May 30th, 2007, 05:33 PM

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

OK, now it shows the reference thumb file that corresponse to the video file type (see above). In this case, its the Quicktime gif. But it is still not showing the Thumbnail that was added by the user for the video. we are almost there. Please give further instructions. thanks

Not much I can say cause $mmthumb is the variable we use in that file to show the thumb if it has one and if not those other files

Hummm....., how is clipupload.com doing it? We are so close. Can you think of anything else? So, if I can find a value to replace {$mmthumb} where it will tell the software to get the thumbnail from the uploaded thumb of the video, I'll be able to get it to work?

I am using the existing code in the file you are using there.

$mmthumb should work fine if there is a thumbnail made for that video otherwise it shows those stock thumbnails.

This whole bb code thing is not suppose to be for multimedia files in any way because it is linked thumbnails

The correct action would be to hide this whole thing if this is a multimedia file

Looking at the code this is the code that defines $mmthumb and is totally valid. You can clearly see what I am posting is valid

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

See what happens the code looks to see if a thumbnail for that video with a jpg extention exists and if it does not then the mmthumb variable gets rewrote to any of those other images

I haven't hack anything else other than added the .flv capability. Can you think of anything else that why my software is not looking for the "uploaded thumb" for the link codes? I double checked my codes in showphoto.php. They are they same with what you just posted above.
