playlist customization
Hello! I am having an issue with the playlist and how it displays.
PROBLEM 1:
I want to have a preview image for each of the five videos in my playlist, BUT I do not want this preview image to display as my playlist thumbnail. I only want text to display in the playlist. I tried plugging in a blank.png image in <jwplayer:playlist.image> line of my .rss playlist, but that leaves a big margin to the left of my playlist text. This margin is the same proportions as the video preview...just shrunken to fit in playlist row.
I only have this problem if I use a preview image for the videos. Without that preview image all displays fine.
How do I get the player to just omit the thumbnails altogether?
PROBLEM 2:
My videos have titles with a lot of characters, so if I put the title text in the <title> they get truncated my 75%.
So I tried putting the titles in the description field and omitting the <title> from the playlist.rss...BUT I have a huge top margin on each playlist item -- as if it holds this space for the (non-existent) title text.
How do I get the description text to not be pushed down? Can I add css somewhere? Is this available in a custom skin somewhere.
I have searched high and low for examples to no avail.
If anyone has any experience or knowledge of these issues, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance.
Grace
