This roll type do not work anymore because the new vshare changes the image folder at video conversion.
Also is your first video do not have image and that is the reason.
the src image path should be like this

src="{$view.new_videos[i].video_thumb_url}/thumb/{$view.new_videos[i].video_folder}1_{$view.new_videos[i].video_id}.jpg

So the best way is to use this for image rotating for all videos anywhere in the site:wink:

I got it working on my site the problem was where the local thumbs are now stored I soft linked them and they work again
but the topic viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3486#p14726 is an old one but I am working out the bugs.
Thank you for your reply


OK this is what is confusing your old thumbs before the update are in the thumbs directory your new files are in thumbs/4ca4238a0b
but if you use bulk import from admin area they go to the thumbs if they are embed

Yes that's i am telling you. Because some sites have their users to upload videos. so they will have problems with this type of rotator :wink:

Thank you again
people who don't have root access to their server will have problems if they cannot do a ln -s command on their server will looking for a work around right now
also looking at the other one you posted to see what needs to be changed to get it working :wink:

Oh my gosh, I was revisiting this thread and the original one and my hair started to hurt. You know...there's GOT to be an easier way of doing this... I tried googling "multi image swap on mouseover" and all kinds of keyword and there's like...nothing out there for something like this (at least not that I could find). My gosh.
