Description
Looking for a way to add multiple thumbnail sizes for the videos. This is a common feature through the popular video sites.
#1
Yes! multiple thumbnail size to pick instead of one. Well, this can be done by CSS if I add additional thumbnail size in my view using width or height.
#2
this is available in the dev version: you need to install embedded media thumbnail and imagecache.
#3
How is this implemented? I've got both modules installed, and don't see options. Thanks. Also, is it available in the stable version released today 10/21?
#4
I believe it's not in today's release according to the CVS logs and diffs.
#5
that's correct. it's only in the dev version -- it's working fine however, and it's the only current difference between that and 6-12.
you need to enable embedded media thumbnail and imagecache, create at least one preset, and then the options for that preset appear in the content field display options (also as a view field formatter if views is installed).
implementation: the remote thumbnail is imported to the local files, after which the file is available to imagecache. i created new formatters & theme functions to pull that in.
i've only test it with emvideo right now. some of the presets (such as the default) should work w/ emimage as well, but i haven't tested that yet (which is part of why it's still in dev).
#6
Thanks for the feature. It works great on my site with youtube videos. The thumbnails *just work* with downloading and pushing through imagecache. Awesome!

Aaron,
I did all that, but it still doesn't come up in the display options. Could this be related to custom thumbnails not showing up when uploaded? Hate to be the problem child, I love the module, but these things are just not working for me. Any ideas? Thanks.
#8
OK, got it working, apparently when I upgraded the module it didn't take the first time. Now if we could just get the custom thumbnail feature working, we're golden. Thanks again, Aaron. You're doing a fantastic job.

subscribing - would be ideal to have imagecache presets available directly in the view, as e.g. with content images.
