   Using the Media Manager I create an entry for an FLV-file.
   E.g.
   URL = http://abc/test.flv
   Title = Test flash
   Image = http://abc/test.jpg
   Type = flv
   And it creates a medium identifier. E.g. 7.
   But when I use [flash medium=7] in a post it does not show the preview image. Do I have to use flashvars for doing that? As I interpret the documentation, that should not be needed, or?
   Thanks

   Actually, you do need to set a flashvars "image" for your medium if you call it via the medium=N option because all/most of the settings in the admin panel are used for playlist creation only.

   The medium=N option was only added by request, so I did not concentrate on a comfortable/effcient way of using it. :) It just gives the URL to the player, nothing else. Sorry!

   Ok, thanks for the quick response. Perhaps would be good to have though. If specified as FLV and an image exists to use that as the preview image. I've been looking for a good plugin that gives me that functionality... :-)
