No thumbnail
22 März, 2008 - 21:39 – sebastien.bock
Hello,
When uploading a video file, i doesn't get a thumbnail for the media : i just get the default video icon.
I looked in the conversion.log and it was empty...
Is there a was to find how the thumbnail for the media is defined ?
Thank you

Hi again Sebastian
Are you sure your mplayer was compiled with jpeg output support? It is needed here for generating screenshots.
You can check that with:
mplayer -vo helpIf 'jpeg' isn't listed there, you have to install the libjpeg-dev(el) package from your distributions repository and configure & compile mplayer again. On a debian system that would look like this:
apt-get install libjpeg-devcd /Path/to/Mplayer-Source/
make clean && make distclean
./configure && make && make install

I think i've found it
Hallo Karsten,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, i checked before my post that my mplayer was compiled with the right options (as seen in a forum post).
In fact i believe i've found it : i have searched in the source code and i've found the following thing :
When the video is already encoded with the FLV format, you bypass the "convert.php" script call which creates the thumbnail. So i believe the problem is only with flv format. I try with other formats and put the results of my investigations in this forum.
Aha
Well - you left that 'little info' out ;)
I could have told you it's not a bug. It's just not there yet in those base versions of osTube.

Didn't think it was important
Ha, i didn't think it was important sorry ;-)
In fact i'm investigating the capabilities of osTube with a community edition and if it fits my companies requirement, i think we will buy a pro edition.
Does the thumbnail is automatic in professionnal editions ?
Hey Sebastian
No - sadly not. It was only implemented after special requests for enterprise customers. But don't worry - sooner or later this will be availible in these basic versions as well. I just can't tell you when this will happen.
