I noticed that the JW Player has a black background, thus the viewer cannot see what the video is until clicking play. Is it possible to have a preview image similar to how YouTube videos are displayed?
To apply a image to a video in wordpress do i use the excerpt space to add that code? is this whereand how? s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always'); s1.addParam('flashvars','offshores1.mp4''&image=http://speedweek.com.au/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/offshores1.jpeg'); Peter
I have tried every way I can think of to get a preview image with no luck. can you help?
