Thumbs number

hi,

is it possible to increase the number of preview thumbs?
I've searched everywhere, files and db, but couldnt figure out how to do it.

solved.
I had to modify class.video_thumb.php :)

can you describe what changes you made to the file? Thank you

Bump for this thread. I'd like to find out what you did too!

have a look inside... should have 3 commands.. i would guess copy and paste it to make it 4? not 100 percent as im not at home to see

Do not believe that is correct. There is a for loop in this file. It is simple to produce the extra thumbnails, however I am missing something because I can not get the rotator.js file to recognize them. Whoever can figure this out, I will bring great praise. Thanks! :)

My guess is to change the variables in rotator.js to reflect the number of thumbs it needs to change, since that number was changed elsewhere.

ok I will try that tonight. Thank you for the feedback

WhiteNoise or Anyone -

Can you share how the steps required to do this say make it have 5 thumbs?

Thanks!!

Did you look there ?

Check these pieces of code:

Code:

---

                $imagewidth = $imagedata[0];
                $imageheight = $imagedata[1];
                $imagetype = $imagedata[2];

---

Code:

---

                unlink($thumb_folder . '/' . $t_info['vid'] . ".jpg");
                unlink($thumb_folder . '/1_' . $t_info['vid'] . ".jpg");
                unlink($thumb_folder . '/2_' . $t_info['vid'] . ".jpg");
                unlink($thumb_folder . '/3_' . $t_info['vid'] . ".jpg");

---

and

Code:

---

                } elseif ($imagetype == 3) {

---

I'm wondering if you add

Code:

---

$imagetype = $imagedata[3];
$imagetype = $imagedata[4];

---

and

Code:

---

unlink($thumb_folder . '/4_' . $t_info['vid'] . ".jpg");
unlink($thumb_folder . '/5_' . $t_info['vid'] . ".jpg");

---

and change the elseif to

Code:

---

                } elseif ($imagetype == 5) {

---

and check around for anything else with "3" in it....

That how you did it whitenoise?

grynmoors -

I did try the code - Thank You, but here is what happened - no extra Thumbs were created and the current thumbs became black with a 1k file size.

Any other suggestions - I am happy to test any code.

Hmmm...well, I'm at a loss...guess we'll have to wait for Whitenoise to visit the forums again and tell us how s/he did it if someone else doesn't post first...but since s/he mentioned

I'd keep looking there to see what else might need tweaking.

Maybe if the only thing you change is this:

Code:

---

unlink($thumb_folder . '/3_' . $t_info['vid'] . ".jpg");

---

by adding below it

Code:

---

unlink($thumb_folder . '/4_' . $t_info['vid'] . ".jpg");
unlink($thumb_folder . '/5_' . $t_info['vid'] . ".jpg");

I really don't want to sound rude but I have tried all of those things grynmoors previously. I am a little ashamed I can't figure it out either. :? I hope that you can figure it out. I spent alot of time trying to figure this one out. Thanks for your help. :D

No, not rude at all...it's just that when you said you 'tried the code' you didn't specify what, exactly, you tried which failed (since I suggested more than one thing in my first post, I assumed you tried all of them at the same time...the second post was suggesting trying only changing the one thing).

Yeah, I hope someone posts too 'cos I think this is a very neat idea.

Ok thanks for not taking any offense. I suppose should have said what I tried. I know that I duplicated the unlink function and played around with it as much as I thought might resolve the issue but without success. I can not remember everything which I tried. But my thoughts are that there is another file over line of code we are over looking and that whitenoise didn't give us the rest of the files he changed? I dunno Obviously I am missing it. I really appreciate your help on this one.

Does anyone have any updates on this?? Can;t wait fro the kids to go back to school so I can find time to tinker on my site more.

Well..since WhiteNoise has the key to this, maybe email him/her since his/her email is in his/her profile...let us know if you get a response.
