If you are using the print flashvideo_get_thumbnail($node); and it does not work, but the [thumbnail] tag does, then this means you are doing something wrong since the [thumbnail] tag mades a direct call to flashvideo_get_thumbnail....
Has everyone checked to make sure that the FlashVideo module has generated the thumbnail for your video? If not, then that is the problem which is most likely an issue with FFMPEG.
I'm seeing the same issue - flv files and thumbnails are stored together under a /files/videos/ directory. The [video] tag works fine, but the [thumbnail] one only displays the tag itself, rather than the associated image (link to the thumbnail image works fine too). Grateful for any help.

travist commentedTo make this work for RSS feeds, you will need to use the
print flashvideo_get_thumbnail($node);API.Comment #3
gumdrop commentedIf I use the code above as is, it show's "Thumbnail Not Available".
Comment #4
travist commentedThen this means your thumbnail was not generated. Are you sure this is not an FFMPEG issue?

Comment #10
gumdrop commentedYes, the thumbnail is being generated and resides in ~/sites/default/files along with it's associated flv file.
I guess that's why the [thumbnail] tag works? Because it is indeed there.
