I've been browsing around through documentation, issues, and the forum, but I can't seem to find how to set a custom preview image for each video. I've created an upload field in my CCK to add the custom preview image, but I can't seem to find a way to get it in the image-var of jw-player (through FLV Media Player).

My first thought was to break up the generated code (instead of using $content) in my node, but I think I'm missing a more simple way to achieve this. Is there a more efficient way to do this instead of breaking the $content into pieces? I can see that the "image"-var is already there ("&image=") in the generated code, but I can't get the path of the uploaded picture in there.

In order to try the vars, I added a logo (through the settings page of FLV Media Player) to the video profile. But this doesn't seem to work either, eventhough the path is correct.

Here's a link (I'm working on that page to find the solution as well, so it may change a couple of times).

I've noticed that both the paths of the video and the image have to be filled out in the "Flash player settings" in order to make averything work. Isn't there a more automated way of doing this? Not every client will be able to deal with this correctly.
