Hi,When I upload a video (I have the AllVideos plug in installed) the video (.flv file type) shows a black screen with white play arrow. I want to use a frame from the video or a JPEG as the screen a user sees before they click to play. Anyone know how this is done? I've checked the forums and documentation, but cannot see anything relating to this.ThanksPhil

You need to turn your monitor on ?

OK, bad joke out of the way ;)

I have seen this done before, so will check my bookmarks.
This is similar to how youtube snatches frames for their videos.

I will let you know shortly.

Lol - it's not that bad a joke...

I just this minute figured it out myself - I needed to create a JPG image and name it exactly same as my flv file and upload to same folder, and then this replaces the black screen.

Thanks
Phil

You beat me to it ;)

Good job.
