No poster Image

Hey, I cant get any poster image to display, cant figure out why. Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is the code I'm using.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="player/jwplayer.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="container">Loading the player ...</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("container").setup({
flashplayer: "player/player.swf",
file: "player/video.mp4",
height: "270",
width: "480",
skin: "http://content.longtailvideo.com/skins/glow/glow.zip",
poster: "player/preview.jpg",
stretching: "fill",
});
</script>

</body>
</html>


Thanks.

Change:

poster: “http://kylegoslan.com/test/player/preview.jpg”,

To:

image: “http://kylegoslan.com/test/player/preview.jpg”,

You are a good man!

I thought that the preferred way in the html5 player was to use poster rather than image?

Np. You only use poster if you are using the <video> tag.

I'm having the same issue: can't get a poster image to show up, even though I'm using the same html as I used in a previous one (as in just changed the file locations)....

<div id="video" style="text-align: center;">
 </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject('/javascript/shared/player.swf','player',360,'240', '8', '#ffffff');
s1.addParam('flashvars','file=/ext/resources/tech-directory/infor-wausau-supply.mp4&autostart=false&image=/ext/resources/ext/resources/Tech-Directory/Infor-Wausau-Supply-poster.jpg&stretching=none');
s1.write('video');
</script>
