Wijering4 (JW Player) Doesn't Display Thumbnails

Good job, @DavidPlanesTV. Let's roll a patch so we can get this fix into a release.

To bring everyone else up to speed here, the SWF Tools Wijering4 (JW Player) module doesn't display thumbnail images. As @DavidPlanesTV discovered, that's because wijering4.module is looking for it in $flashvars['image'] instead of $vars->othervars['image'] where it actually exists. I'm attaching a patch with his changes. They is a problem with them that needs to be addressed before it can be committed: they replace swftools_get_media_url(swftools_get_media_path() for the image path with merely '/'. I don't understand exactly what the former code was doing, but I take it it had something to do with handling the possibility of remote images, so we can't just remove it. Perhaps someone who knows better what's going on there can help us come up with a complete solution. For those who don't care about the lost functionality, you can use this patch in the interim.

Note that this problem exists in the 2.x branch as well, so the fix will need to be backported when it's finished.

This is already fixed in 6.x-3.x.

I don't plan to go back and formally fix 6.x-2.x as the new release will replace it.

Just tested locally to double check and it's working ok.

Thanks for the patch anyway!!

Absolutely great work on this module, Stuart, but I'd just like to nudge here.

Just cost X amount of time and Y dollars to figure out that thumbnails aren't working w/JW, bc you haven't applied a few-line patch to the currently active and suggested version of the module.

I'm using 3.0-beta4 and I can not get it to display thumbnails. Using the video module 4.1-rc4. If i use http://drupal.org/project/flowplayer then the thumbnail shows up.

issue is with video module
#921120: Remove //@todo: swftools bug, can't enable this until they fix their pathing for the images.
