Yep thanks i thought i was wrong somehow…..

I will post a response i got in another section it may help you…

here it is

“I think what bookpeg is trying to get is not a blank screen with color but an image or “first frame” of video while the video is idle…is that correct?

If so you need to make an image (photo) the same size of your video display like an example 300x 225 pixels wide and high, then upload your image to the Video folder for thumbnails in my case it’s images/stories/videos/thumbnail. Name the thumbnail image the same as .FLV file. So if you video is shopping.flv name your image shopping.jpeg to match and put it in your thumbnail folder.

I wish it did use the “first frame” of the video as it’s make a lot of extra work to create a thumbnail. Perhaps someone out there knows a better way to do this!? I would be happy! ”

heres the link http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/allvideos-mod-starts-on-a-grey-screen/

So does someone know basically how to make it use the first frame of the video instead of simply using the grey background?

it does not use the first frame, it uses the image that you upload to your image folder and you just give it the same name as the video

Yer i know what i want to know is how to use the first frame of the video…. not to go back to the grey screen when it has finished.
