Episode Image doesn’t appear in player

    Hi there,

    I have an issue with the episodes’ thumbnails not showing in the HTML5 media player on the podcast page.

    The cause is that my theme doesn’t use a square thumbnail, in Media ? Thumbnail size the values are 400 and 300 (due to a design choice).

    I attempted the following solutions, with no success.

    1. Using the ssp_frontend_context_thumbnail_size filter

    In my functions.php theme I added:

    function basic_setup() {
   // Custom image sizes.
   add_image_size( 'square', 600, 600, true );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'basic_setup' );

/**
 * Seriously Simple Podcasting.
 */
function custom_podcast_image_size() {

   $size = 'square';

   return $size;
}
add_filter( 'ssp_frontend_context_thumbnail_size', 'custom_podcast_image_size', 100 );

    2. Declaring a square post-thumbnail size

    Again in my functions.php file:

    function basic_setup() {
        
   // Post Thumbnail Support.
   add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnail' );
   set_post_thumbnail_size( 600, 600, true );
		
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'basic_setup' );

    After every change I regenerated the thumbnails, but I still can get it to work.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks for any help or suggestion,

    Simone

    Hi @semikola,

    You can try to change the player image URL with the following snippet:

    add_filter( 'ssp_html_player_data', function ( $data ) {
        $size = 'medium';
	$episode_repository = ssp_app()->get_service( 'episode_repository' );
	$data['album_art']  = $episode_repository->get_album_art( $data['episode_id'], $size );
	return $data;
} );

    You can change $size to any size you’d like, for example, the ‘square’ one that you already registered with your code.

    Hope this helps and best regards,
    Sergiy.
