 * Hello,
 * Since the MP4 Documentation or Quick Start Guide links do not work, I will ask
   here. What does this Feature mean?
 * Create your own video thumbnails images
 * Yet, the Add-on image says “Uploaded thumbnail”.
 * If I have to create my own thumbnails, I would not consider this a Feature on
   the Add-on. Or does the Add-on create the thumbnails with ffmpeg or something
   similar?
 * Please explain.
 * Thank you.

 * The MP4 addon allows one to include self hosted videos in a MaxGalleria video
   gallery. The only way I found to auto generate thumbnails from videos in PHP 
   is with ffmpeg, but that has to be installed on the server which is not practical
   for our customers. Thus users of the MP4 plugin have to create and upload their
   own thumbnails.
