Hi guys,
I've been playing with version 4.1.50 and like the video upload option.
While playing around with the script i noticed one issue with the video thumbnails that are being generated.
In most cases the very first frame or few secs of a video is a blank intro screen. which doesn't help describe the video content
as you get a category full of black thumbnails.
Is it possible to allow the script to generate the video thumbnail 30sec into the video clip?
I look forward to your feedback.
regards

Should be possible... I'll include it if you test it for me. Open includes/addeditfuncs.php and change to
(I set it to 5 seconds in since a lot of videos aren't 30 seconds long.)
Does that work?

Hi Paul,
I tried the code but it doesn't seem to get past the first frame.
