No video thumbnail with Dash Player

It should. Can you send me the dashplayer code snippet as it's rendered on your pages? This will help us diagnose what's going on.

I am having the same issue using Drupal 6. Here is my dash player redered markup:

<object id="dashplayer" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="652" height="432" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab">
   <param name="movie" value="http://local.katshawnee.com/sites/all/files/dashPlayer/dashPlayer.swf" />
   <param name="FlashVars" value="playlist=videos" />
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
   <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
   <embed name="dashplayer" allowScriptAccess="always" src="http://local.katshawnee.com/sites/all/files/dashPlayer/dashPlayer.swf" 
      width="652" 
      height="432" 
      border="0" 
      type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
      wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" quality="high" flashvars="playlist=videos" />
</object>

The video list appears but there are no thumbnails and I can't play the videos.

Thanks for any help.

I found the problem with my video configuration and it wasn't related to the player. The cron job which eventually calls FlashVideo to create the flv and jpg files was failing, first because the search index was bombing out early ( see http://drupal.org/node/123269 ) and then because my ffmpeg wasn't correctly configured on my system to translate the files.

Once I fixed the search index cron problem and installed ffmpeg properly, the video player worked like a champ.

Hope that helps.

smulkey, you don't need ffmpeg to use CDN2 and there aren't any processes being run at cron. The images and thumbnails are created on the CDN2 transcoding servers.

Yes, I just realized that I was posting to the wrong project. I had the same set of symptoms but my configuration is using the dashplayer and flashvideo modules for rendering the videos. FlashVideo processes the codecs using an external call to ffmpeg, which wasn't happening in my case. My apologies for the accidental cross-post.
