Re-sizing the thumbnail size on player


We have recently integrated "related video" plug in with our JW player V6 and wanted to understand if there is an option to re-size the thumbnail size of related videos on the player.

we wish to show 5 videos over the player in one line on an overlay using related video plug in however because the thumbnail size is big it is showing related videos in multi-line.

Please advise

The player needs to be wider to show multiple items on one line.

When clicked on Related videos button on the player - it shows 5 related videos in 2 lines - we need to show the same in one line therefore need provision to change image dimension of related video.

Please advise

The dimensions cannot be changed. The player simply needs to be larger.

I have found an option in one of the forum, not sure if this can help.

That is our support documentation, you can’t change the size of the thumbs though.

Hi Ethan,

Here's the paragraph in support document that says dimensions can be changed.

dimensions
This sets the width and height of each thumbnail in pixels. The default is 140x80. Set this to a different value to make the thumbnails larger (e.g. 240x160) or smaller (e.g. 120x70). Note the overlay always renders a fixed 10px spacing between the thumbs.


We tried to use this but didn't work.

I have seen at some places that increasing the stamp thumbnail size is possible on JW player.

Thanks,

Then that should be updated.

Correct, but when we set the parameters it doesn't change anything.

This is where the problem is.

Please advise.

I mean as in, it should be updated, because it doesn’t work, there is no way to change the thumbnail size.
