Video Thumb on Homepage Video

timpennington

On the JA Healthcare homepage,. where the Youtube video is posted, it is not generating a "video thumb" like it has in the past; it just shows a basic background with a "play" triangle; the video plays fine, but how do I get that thumbnail to show up in that spot; it used to, but I changed videos out and now the thumb doesn't show.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

Each Youtube video generates different versions for thumbnail: standard, medium, high quality and maximum quality of resolution. It seems that the video you're using doesn't have maximum version which is rendered by default in this video module.

You will need to customize a little bit here by opening this file: /templates/ja_healthcare/acm/video/tmpl/style-1.php

At approx line 55, you see this line of code:

<img alt="" src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/<?php echo $video_link; ?>/maxresdefault.jpg" />

change it to:

case 'youtube':
?>
<img alt="" src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/<?php echo $video_link; ?>/hqdefault.jpg" />

The thumbnail will show up then.

FYI: if you want to use other versions of thumbnail, this is a good tip
