Hi,

We are using a grid formatted view for videos on our frontpage, and are having some trouble trying to figure out a way to control the size of thumbnails in that view.

We can set the thumbnail creation size to be the size we want to display in our view, but then the video poster image looks like crap. We'd much prefer to make a same-as-video sized thumbnail and size it as necessary for other uses.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Sort of found a way to do this. Instead of using Flashvideo:Video as a field in the view to generate the thumbnail, use Node:Body with Teaser set as the handler.

You can then control the size of the thumbnail with the following code in your content template.

print flashvideo_get_thumbnail($node, array('width' => 320, 'height' => 240));

Not ideal, because it takes over your ability to uniquely control the thumbnail size on teaser and view, but it works for our purposes.
