playlist images and size

Greetings,
I have a small version of the player on a website. 340x220 (aprox.) I have gotten my playlist to work. but I am having two problems:

1. the playlist takes up WAY too much space. Is there a way to configure so that the playlist height/width is not taking up half my player at that size? Also the playlist iamges are not loading. The images are loading in teh video player window, but not in the playlist.

Please advise

I would make the player wider.

Also, you can change it with the listbar.

Example:

listbar: {
position: “right”,
size: 260
}

I made it about 100 px wider and the thumbnail images for the playlist still do not show up. Is there not a way to do it with the player that size and list on the bottom?

You are using variables for v5 (playlist.position).

It is called listbar in v6

That code should be fine,we use the same thing here – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/29249/playlist-sidebar-component

I would recommend trying to use our sample to test.

Great product! But here is a minor complaint... Would love to have more control over the playlist presentation. Such as, it would be great if the image thumbnail was optional. The thumbnails take up a lot of space and do not communicate much about the video in my application. I'd like to have 20+ videos in my playlist without all the vertical space.

Like this:

file: '/videos/ocarina.mov',
title: "Susato Ocarinas",
image: none,
description: "George Kelischek playing a Susato pendant Mini-Ocarina."

Thanks for the suggestion. It is actually possible to remove them, but you have to do it with our skinning model.

It is only possible to do that via a custom skin – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/28847/building-jw-player-skins

if the list i think is too small it will cut out the image replace your position: 'right',
to position: 'bottom',
