Description
I'm using this :
<?php
print flashvideo_get_video($node, $params);
?>The thumbnail file gets generated properly. But I only see a black background in the player before the video is started. I'd like to have the thumbnail show up as a background, but can't seem to make it happen.
I'm using this for the FlashVars to the player
file=@video&image=@thumbnail
Am I missing something?

I've found a way to do it, but I'm not marking as fixed in case there is a better way which can be suggested by one of the maintainers. I think this is supposed to be taken care of in an automated way in the module but I just can't find where.
This is my temporary solution in case it's helpful to someone else. In my template file before the flashvideo_get_video() call I find out the filepath for the thumbnail image from the cck field. I add it to the $params array like such :
<?php$params['flashvars']['image'] = base_path() . $node->THUMBNAIL_FIELDNAME[0]['filepath'];
?>

Do you not mean the option 'Use Thumbnail as Intro Image.' when in; admin/settings/flashvideo/edit/video (video is your content-type). This works fine for me and displays the thumbnail in the player before the video starts playing (and after its finished).
