I dont know if this is a support request or a feature request.

Media Front has this great feature that you can set in the presets to have mediafront not display if there is nothing to play. The only issue I am having is that in my content type, I am using a Image field to display featured images to show up in the teaser view. The Media Player field is picking up these featured images & displaying them as thumbnails even though there is no video. Is there a way to make it so that media player only shows up if there is a video present, even though there is an image there?

I am curious why you cannot just make the playable media field required within CCK so that you will never get the case when someone creates a media node without any media. Is this an option?

With this particular content type, the video field is optional, there may, or may not be a video to go with the the text content.

Now that the other issue is resolved, I ask that you fix this issue. I demonstrated in one of my videos why this can be a problem. Hopefully you see where i am coming from with this.

can you explain this, because I don't follow. Isn't CCK folded in to D7? Also I'm currently having this issue with my site I'm pretty sure that I have this set up correctly butI'm still getting thumbnails instead full images from the media player when there is only an image not a video.

Figured it out. On edit all image fields that are on your content type that are not related to MediaFront and change "Media Preview Image" and "Media Thumbnail Image" to "none"
