Video thumbnail creator
« on: April 06, 2020, 08:22:38 pm »

This plugin allows you to set the thumbnail for a video from the video itself. When on the intermediate page for the video (only admin users), there will be a button to create a thumbnail from the video's current frame. So you can position the video where you want, hit the button and the thumbnail will be set. It will require a modern web browser and will (currently) only work with videos handled by the CPG HTMLV player.

Note: if you have already created custom thumbnails for the videos that are .png files, it will be necessary to remove the .png files.

Updated: 11 May 2020, v0.9
Will now work with the Flash Media Player. This video thumbnail creator plugin must be listed AFTER the media player plugin in the Plugin Manager.

A fine bit of work. Something positive comes out of all the lockdown time.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

It doesn't work for me. I've deleted the .png file and when I try to generate the thumb, i've got the follow message "FAILED: could not parse image data".  :(

The failure is indicating that the image info the browser is sending to CPG does not match what is expected to be received. Sorry, I have no way to match your setup to explore possible issues.

I had no problem with creating a thumbnail for your other two videos using the button. So perhaps your issue may have been associated with your browser.
After creating the thumbs, I changed these things on your site to provide you with better overall results:
Used the Filetypes Editor to change MP4 files to identify as video/mp4 (mime) and HTML5 Video Tag (player).
Uninstalled the JWPlayer plugin.

Thanks so much for the help. Things seem to run more smoothly now
