Preview Image Size

Hi,

How does one go about sizing the preview image. my player is 640 x 393 but if i use that dimension for the image, it does not fill the player.

Thanks

John

The player width and/or height also includes the control bar and/or playlist which you have to make allowance for.

So if the displayarea was 320x240 with a control bar on the bottom, the player would be 340x260 and the preview image would be 320x240.

Thanks for this link. But I dont want to put a logo while playing.

Its the preview image, that is shown before playing. This is the *image* flashvar.

Who knows how to solve this? :)

..I think the resizing of the preview is not possible. I read, that this is a feature, that is comming soon... ;)

So, I have made an image which is as big as the screen and put the little logo in the middle of this image. That works - but this big image has to load everytime the player will be loaded. But it works....

I second the request for having a resizable preview image.

I have many video files and have generated preview images for each one.

I use these video on several different website, each with its own requirements for video player size.

One size of preview image does not fit all.

Can we have a 'stretch' option for preview images please?

Thanks

@Andre,

See:

*http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashVars#Behaviour*

Use the *logo* flashvar.
