I'm using Flowplayer, and I'm not positive which queue this belongs in. By default, it shows the thumbnail preview image of the video when you visit the node, without any controls or indication that it is actually a video. You have to click on the thumbnail to start the video. The "Controlbar auto hide" preference in the field's configuration (which is set to Never) seems to indicate that this should not be the case -- the controls should be always shown.

Am I missing something obvious here to get it to look like a video player? I know you can auto-play the video, but I don't want to go that far here.

The way the Flowplayer works normally is that the Flash applet isn't loaded until the preview image is clicked on.

Initially I tried to have the preview image in the player's playlist, but there were issues with this.

On http://www.sharkscopers.com/ we used CSS to put a play button over the thumbnails.
