I have uploaded a video file onto my gallery. But i wanted to know if its possible to change the thumbnail view of it? Because its just a big WMV sign at the moment.

And also is it possible to add a link saying "click here to download it" ?? I tried html butti just showed the code.

Help!!

I really need some help on this.

Is it possible to add a link saying

"click HERE and save target as to download video"??

And also is it possible to change the thumbnail of the video to a JPG file instead of having the "WMV" picture??

Please read the manual before posting questions.

Ok so ive figured out how to add a link. But i have a question i cant figure out.

If i wanted to add a "normal" and a "thumbnail" for the videos and video itself.

Would i make a normal sized image and name it say "normal_underoath-in_regards_to_myself.jpg" if the wmv file is named "underoath-in_regards_to_myself.wmv"??

[Nibbler]

Basically yes.

Ok so i read it and i think i followed the instructions carefully?

i tried uploading a "normal" thumbnail.

the wmv file name is underoath-in_regards_to_myself.wmv

so i tried both of these sepereately as the normal_ picture:

normal_movie_underoath-in_regards_to_myself

normal_wmv_underoath-in_regards_to_myself

but none of them worked!?!?

could it be because i uploaded the video sepereatly thena ttempted to upload the "normal_"

[Nibbler]

You can only have custom thumb_ images, not custom normal_ images for videos. Custom normal_ images doesn't make much sense.

I batch uploaded my files which ar elisted below:

underoath-in_regards_to_myself.wmv
thumb_movie_underoath-in_regards_to_myself.jpg
normal_movie_underoath-in_regards_to_myself.jpg


But the thumbnail and image both havent showed up whatsoever! I read the instructions but im still stuck!!


help!!

thanks

Ok ive done what was said to do.

just uploaded the main wmv file then the thumb_ file tryed it with thumb_movie and thumb_wmv

when i go to click the thumbnail before selected what album to go into it pops up and has alternate text and says the image file is the wmv file?

[Nibbler]

Why are you naming them like that? If the video is

underoath-in_regards_to_myself.wmv

then the thumbnail is

thumb_underoath-in_regards_to_myself.jpg

...and don't batch-add the thumbnail - just upload it using your FTP app, that's all.
