Hi. I use a playlist. When new video starts play it shows preview. Can I avoid it? Preview is a frame from somewhere in video and does not match the first frame.
If I cannot avoid it, are there any ways to show the first frame from video as preview?
You can use the image: ’’ parameter in your playlist to define a poster image for each video. See http://qa.jwplayer.com/~todd/playlist-example.html for a code example.
Thank you. But I have over 200 videos. I would like to do it automatically.
How are you generating your embed codes? Do you have a way to define an image: ’’ URL for each playlist item?
Yes I have for every item set an image: ''. It happens only in flash player. When browser supports HTML5 previews are not displayed.
Interesting. Can you send me a link to a test page?
Sure. http://www.americantravelshow.com/videoplayer
Turns out that those still preview images come directly from YouTube, even if you do not have an image URL defined.
