Is there a way to use a seperate (larger) image for the player and a smaller (thumbnail size) for the playlist?.

Hi folks,
Firstly thanks for the excellent software!
Now my question :)
I'm trying to _increase_ the playlist thumbnail size. I can successfully shrink it, but I cannot enlarge it. The swf is located here:
http://www.rotisol.com/en/products/videos/
This is the code I've changed in Playlistview.as:
bc.. // set thumbnails
if(config["thumbsinplaylist"] == "true") {
tgt["btn"+i].bck._height = 80;
tgt["btn"+i].icn._y += 9;
tgt["btn"+i]._y = num*81;
tgt["btn"+i].txt._height += 20;
if(feeder.feed[i]["author"] == undefined) {
tgt["btn"+i].txt.htmlText = "*"+(i+1)+"*:<br />"+
feeder.feed[i]["title"];
} else {
tgt["btn"+i].txt.htmlText = "*" +
feeder.feed[i]["author"] + "*:<br />" +
feeder.feed[i]["title"];
}
if(feeder.feed[i]["image"] != undefined) {
tgt["btn"+i].txt._x += 120;
tgt["btn"+i].txt._width -= 60;
thumbLoader =
new ImageLoader(tgt["btn"+i].img,"true",120,80);
thumbLoader.loadImage(feeder.feed[i]["image"]);
tgt["btn"+i].img.setMask(tgt["btn"+i].msk);
} else {
tgt["btn"+i].msk._height = 10;
tgt["btn"+i].img._visible =
tgt["btn"+i].msk._visible = false;
}
}
As you can see I'm trying to double the size of the thumbnail images to 120 x 80. However in my test page I can see that the thumbnails are enlarged, but only the top left quarter of is displayed. The rest is cut off. What am I missing? Thanks :)

Nevermind, I finally figured it out. :d :d :d I had to increase the size of the 'msk' in the flvplayer.flv file (the default is 60x40).

If anyone is interested in getting rid of the thumbnails and still retaining two lines just open PlaylistView.as and change the following lines. Backup the original first.
new ImageLoader(tgt["btn"+i].img,"true",60,40);
to
new ImageLoader(tgt["btn"+i].img,"true",0,0);
and
tgt["btn"+i].txt._x += 60;
to
tgt["btn"+i].txt._x += 0;

If you plan on using really long text then you'll need to change one other line.
tgt["btn"+i].txt._width -= 60;
to
tgt["btn"+i].txt._width -= 0;

hi, first of all let me greet you for such great player..
i was wondering if there's any way to edit the "style" for the playlist.. like changing the background, or giving more space between the thumbnails (since i have already changed the size to the double) and the side margins (its like just 1 px width now), also is there any chance to remove the "text"for the playlist? i want to show the playlist just with the thumbnail.
(btw: can i apply this solution http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=8252 to the playlist thumbnails?)

anyone can shine some light on whats ffmpeg? and how do i use it to create thumbnails?

ffmpeg is a software engine for working with audio and video files. Many of the Open Source Encoders use it as their engine.
You can get the windows binaries here: [url=http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffmpeg/]*Index of /mirror/ffmpeg*[/url]
To create thumbnails, you either run it manually (it's a command line program) or call it from a PHP script.
Use *Search this Site* for "ffmpeg thumb" and other related search terms to find threads such as this one: [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=7546#msg49051]*READDIR_PLAYLIST.PHP WILL NOT CREATE LIST*[/url] to get instructions for using ffmpeg and the PHP scripts.

Hey there,
I sorry to bother you with this again. I tried to follow your instructions here, but I ended up in a mess.
I am trying to increase the thumbnail size to 120x128.
As Marcell (20.03.2007) pointed out and Tim (10.07.2007) explained as well, I changed to settings in the PlaylistView.as and in the mediaplayer.fla according to this.
Now the relevant part in my PlaylistView.as looks like this
// set thumbnails
if(config["thumbsinplaylist"] == "true") {
tgt["btn"+i].bck._height = 128;
tgt["btn"+i].icn._y += 9;
tgt["btn"+i]._y = num*129;
tgt["btn"+i].txt._height += 20;
if(feeder.feed[i]["author"] == undefined) {
tgt["btn"+i].txt.htmlText = "*"+(i+1)+"*:<br />"+
feeder.feed[i]["title"];
} else {
tgt["btn"+i].txt.htmlText = "*" +
feeder.feed[i]["author"] + "*:<br />" +
feeder.feed[i]["title"];
}
if(feeder.feed[i]["image"] != undefined) {
tgt["btn"+i].txt._x += 120;
tgt["btn"+i].txt._width -= 60;
thumbLoader =
new ImageLoader(tgt["btn"+i].img,"true",120,128);
thumbLoader.loadImage(feeder.feed[i]["image"]);
tgt["btn"+i].img.setMask(tgt["btn"+i].msk);
} else {
tgt["btn"+i].msk._height = 10;
tgt["btn"+i].img._visible = false;
tgt["btn"+i].msk._visible = false;
}
I also changed the size of the "itm" mc in the "related" mc to 120x128.
The thumbnails are increased now, but there seems to remain a mask of 60x40 pixel.
Can anyone give me a hint, what I might have done wrong?
Thank you very much
