Thickbox preview from thumbnail doesn't work

The other thing I tried doesn't work either - I tried to add a CCK Image field to the video node-type (not the 'custom fields', because these are only text fields and I need a thumbnail). But when click upload on the image field the page responds as if I'm uploading the entire video again (same uploading... icon), except it seems to stick. So apparently there's some conflict between the two.

It would be workable for me even if:
1. the custom fields allowed other cck modules
2. I could just add cck fields to the node-type in the regular way under /admin/content/types without a conflict
4. Someone could help me figure out what code I can add to my .tpl file to print the thumbnail image itself (with no link, etc)
3. Ideally of course the thumbnail feature provided by the video module would just work for me then I wouldn't have to do a thing except thank you immensely :) (I'll of course feel that way as long as I can get one of these workarounds to work in the meantime).

Well, I guess it depends if I'm understanding the intended functionality or not.

When I go to: http://scottt.aharonic.net/njsavings/video/tracker it's the default view that came with this module (I assumed?).
The thumbnail, when clicked, opens a thickbox (I assumed this was part of the module too? Though I realize I could be totally wrong about this! I just can't see where my system could be making this happen).

SO it's that thickbox functionality of the video thumbnail that I was reporting as a bug, because rather than opening the video in that thickbox, the loading bar just keeps spinning and no video appears.

The rest of my question (how I could print the thumbnail only) IS a support request (I just added them togehter because they fit together). My intention was also to let you know my intended goal, in case there was another way to do it... because in fact I had been doing the very same thing with other modules (which I can no longer use) and now I find this module seems to do it out of the box! -- if only I could get the thickbox feature to work

I will try this support-workaround now and let you know - thanks!

:)

Ok, This override clears the link, so that should help me add the thickbox manually

Unfortunately the only way I know how to do that is to print the video in a hidden div, and call it through an inline thickbox function linked to the thumbnail, like the code farther above (the first post in this issue).

So I'll try to get this going for now (thanks for responding to the support request!) - but hopefully I can get the thickbox thing to function as it's supposed to (but can you confirm that this is the intended functionality, or was it something particular to my site that tried to unsuccessfully call the video in a thickbox from clicking the thumbnail?)

Ok, So this is purely a support request - thanks for clarifying that ;)

One thing I'm still having trouble with though, is printing the link to the video in the teaser view.
I'm trying this (which works in the full-node view, but seems not to in the teaser):

<?php print $node->vidfile; ?>

In the full node view, this example prints this: "http://scottt.aharonic.net/njsavings/files/videos/test2.flv"

Is there a way to do this in the teaser?

Thanks!

(to clarify)
What I'm trying to do is modify the php template override you suggested above.
This is the code I tried below (but I just can't seem to get the video url to print -- if there was a way to print the video file itself I could even add the filepath manually - but don't see how to do that either?):

/*
 * Override thumbnail link in Video module. From: http://drupal.org/node/234767#comment-771211
 */
function phptemplate_video_image_teaser($node) {
  $image = NULL;
  if($node->type == 'image') {
    $image = image_display($node, 'thumbnail', array('class' => 'video_image_teaser'));
  }
  else if($node->serial_data['image_teaser']){ // only for backward compatibility
    $image = theme('image', $node->serial_data['image_teaser'], $node->title, $node->title, array('class' => 'video_image_teaser'), FALSE);
  }
 
  if($image) {
    //Create a link with an image in it.
    //$output .= l($image, "node/$node->nid", array(), NULL, NULL, FALSE, TRUE);
	$output .= '<a class="thickbox" href="#TB_inline?height=340&width=400&inlineId=video">';
    $output .= $image;
	$output .= '</a>';
	$output .= '<div id="video" style="display: none;"><embed src="http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/mediaplayer.swf" width="395" height="310" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="&displayheight=310&file=';
	$output .= $node->vidfile;
	$output .= '&height=310&image=&width=395" /></div>';
    $output .= '<br class="video_image_clear" />';
  }
  return $output;
}
