the file would more than likely have to be in the swf , (flash Format) to work i would think
so don't even try MOV,MPG,WAV convert them first

that should work.

as far as the thumbs go I too have not been able to get them to work. I guess you could always just post them to a thread then edit the thread with a thumb till we can figure it out

OK I see how its coded now: the thumb is pulled from /media/media_video.jpg you could go in and change that by removing that pic and rename the thumb you want shown to (media_video.jpg) then retrieve the information for that video.

You would have to manually create the thumb. but once uploaded to /media/ and renamed the retrieved it would be renamed in the thumbs folder to something like 28.jpg automatically. This would allow you to do this anytime you want to actually have a thumb associated with a local video. be aware that this picl (media_video.jpg) will also be the pic for any local files you upload if you don't change the pic you will have this pic as your thumb.

Jaxel could probably fix this pretty easy once he has time to re-cooperate from his coding binge :>
