first, i know your pain, i posted a topic here too a few months ago and still no reply..
anyway; i don’t know if that exists, but my guess would be no.
Can it be created? sure, but it will be challenging, almost like a you-tube like automated script.
What i would recommend to you: Use a video snapshot program to make a image of a scene from a video and upload that with the post.
I see you post a new post ever day/couple of days, It will take 1 minutes each time, so that seems doable.
This is how I handled the same problem.
My photo thumbnails showed up fine, so I created an image for the video and included that before the video. Then i added the following code to the link for the image:
style="visibility:hidden; height:0; width:0; margin:0; float:left;"
So the resulting code for the image would be:
<a style="visibility:hidden; height:0; width:0; margin:0; float:left;" href="link"><img src="image" alt="" title="" /></a>
I do not think that this is the best way, or easiest way, but it seems to work. I haven’t tested it on many browsers. Only safari and firefox.
Hey guys,
Was just trying to do this for my client site, and I think Ryan has a good idea. Thanks for that. If you find a better please let me know
I’m back guys,
After trying your trick Ryan (which didn’t work for me).
But I used the idea and got an similar solution,
When embedding your video add a “thumbnail” to your post(it has to be a thumbnail). then in you style.css add these:
.size-thumbnail{
visibility:hidden !important;
height:0;
width:0;
margin:0;
float:left;
}
“.size-thumbnail” being the class generated by wordpress for each thumbnail post via the “upload/insert media” at the top left corner of your post box. I only use the media library ! not NextGen or other plugins to upload images on my blog:
You can check the class generated using firebug anyway
Only tested in Firefox so far but it should be fine for IE
I hope it made sense
Ryan’s trick worked for me, at least in Safari! Thanks.
