Getting through the bugs and hope that this is the last one.
The video images are too big for the Outline thumbs. How do I correct this problem?
I.e. www.thisisart.com.au
Thanks in advance

| Examining your site with firebug, your video thumb is actually 480 pixels wide. HL is correct as I confirmed with my site. Make sure you save out the new settings. Also, you may need to clear caches; including /cache and /cache_public. <div class="wall-oii-image bx_videos-wall-oii-image bx-def-margin-sec-top-auto"> <img class="wall-oii-image bx_videos-wall-oii-image bx-def-round-corners bx-def-shadow" width="480" height="360" title="You Can Paint Your Pet - With Robert Hagan" src="http://www.thisisart.com.au/flash/modules/video/files/222_small.jpg"> </a> </div> Geeks, making the world a better place | |||||

 Unfortunately that was not it. Has anyone else had the problem or is it just me? Check again as those settings do control the size in the outline; I confirmed this with my site. Geeks, making the world a better place | |||||
| Video is processed by ffmpeg, even if it is just youtube embed, so it looks like ffmpeg is not working on your server, it maybe different reasons: - incorrect ffmpeg permissions (it should be executable) - ffmpeg binary don't match OS you have (by default ffmpeg for linux is supplied) - hosting restriction or php configuration First place to look for this is to check admin panel > tools > host tools page.

So are you saying that setting is not dynamic; that a thumbnail is generated based on the size set in the admin and that if we decide that we want a different size for the thumbnail that we must recode/re-embed the videos that are already embedded? So if there are 10.000 embedded videos; they would all have to be redone if we wanted a different size to show for the video thumbnail in Outline? Geeks, making the world a better place | |||||

 they would all have to be redone if we wanted a different size to show for the video thumbnail in Outline no, old content will never show in the "Outline" only what is new from the install point.. ManOfTeal.COM a Proud UNA site, six years running strong! | |||||

Yes, I understand about the outline; however, I assume that the "browse unit" is used in other places than the outline; true or false? Geeks, making the world a better place | |||||
| In cPanel file manager, look in flash/modules/global/app what is the file size of your ffmpeg.exe? ManOfTeal.COM a Proud UNA site, six years running strong! | |||||

 "browse unit" is used in other places than the outline; true or false? true, but on browse pages, that would be what HL referred to above ManOfTeal.COM a Proud UNA site, six years running strong! | |||||
| OK, I see that the .bx_videos_search_unit is set in CSS. So the browse unit is only for the outline? Geeks, making the world a better place | |||||
| What HL pointed out were the size on /m/videos/browse/all ManOfTeal.COM a Proud UNA site, six years running strong! | |||||

| Thanks everyone for the help. It was a problem with the permissions of flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe The file was set to non-executable. Then I realised that change would only help the new videos that are loaded. I hope that I don't have many more such issues. | |||||
