[Plugin: Cool Video Gallery] Manual Preview Image Not Working

@emgwebmaster

Any update on your issue?

@praveen Rajan
Hi! I’ve got problem with creating thumbs for videos. I did exactly the same actions as described on 1 page (replacing some lines in “core.php”, but it wont work. Where should i dig?

I have followed this forum
set permissions as stated
uploaded videos .flv
added images named properly
and I am still getting the Click to watch video
in the gallery on the page.

the videos work – i just want thumbnails to show – either mine or an auto generate one – either way – anything is better than Click to watch video

*sigh*

@leoner & @lpgalady

Please edit the file cool-video-gallery.php, function CVGVideo_Render replace this section

if(!file_exists(ABSPATH . '/' .$video['thumb_filename']))
$video['thumb_filename'] = $this->plugin_url . 'images/default_video.png';

with

if(!file_exists(ABSPATH . '/' .$video['thumb_filename']))
$video['thumb_filename'] = $this->plugin_url . 'images/default_video.png';
else
$video['thumb_filename'] = site_url() . '/' . $video['thumb_filename'];

Also

$output .=  '<a href="' . $video['filename'] . '" title="' . $video['title'] . '"  rel="shadowbox;height=' . $options_player['cvgplayer_height'] .';width=' . $options_player['cvgplayer_width'] . '">' ;
			$output .=  '<img src="' . $this->plugin_url . 'lib/thumbgen.php?src=';
			$output .= $video['thumb_filename'];
			$output .=  '&w=' . $thumb_width . '&h=' . $thumb_height . '&zc=' . $cv_zc . '&q=' . $thumb_quality . '"' . 'alt="' . htmlspecialchars('Click to Watch Video') . '"/></a>';

with

$output .=  '<a href="' . $video['filename'] . '" title="' . $video['title'] . '"  rel="shadowbox;height=' . $options_player['cvgplayer_height'] .';width=' . $options_player['cvgplayer_width'] . '">' ;
$output .=  '<img src="'. video['thumb_filename'];
$output .=  '" style="width:' . $thumb_width . 'px;height:' . $thumb_height . 'px;"' . ' alt="' . htmlspecialchars('Click to Watch Video') . '"/>';

Hope this helps. I regret for the inconvenience. I will be releasing an update soon with more features like sorting video files. Will be fixing the issue in my next release.

Thanks

well unfortunately I now have a deactivated plugin with a fatal error on line 507…is the code correct that you supplied? is there a syntax error somewhere?
I am looking at the file and it looks fine to me ??

Please try this one for the second section.

$output .=  '<a href="' . $video['filename'] . '" title="' . $video['title'] . '"  rel="shadowbox;height=' . $options_player['cvgplayer_height'] .';width=' . $options_player['cvgplayer_width'] . '">' ;
	$output .=  '<img src="'. $video['thumb_filename'] . '" style="width:' . $thumb_width . 'px;height:' . $thumb_height . 'px;"' . ' alt="' . htmlspecialchars('Click to Watch Video') . '"/></a>';

Great, thank you so very much!

HI Praveen!
I updated the plugin and now my gallery is not found.
Am I supposed to go back in and change all the permissions to the folders again?
The gallery is there but it is stating [gallery not found] Help!
Thanks

Oh and one more thing – when I select Manage Galleries – before I select it – it shows the gallery there with 2 videos – when I select Manage Galleries though it states no videos found – and no images ????

Hi,

May be your database entries got cleared up. Please check your database (if you still find the files in server).

No – the files are there – I just checked and the images are there still

This was working perfectly until I upgraded it automatically ??

I thought perhaps I needed to scan the folder to find the videos again, but it states no new videos found. However the original videos are in the video-gallery just as they were before I upgraded when it was working properly.

Now the videos are not showing up on the backend in the plugin in WordPress – somehow there must be a disconnect between the plugin finding the files on the server after the upgrade – this should not happen though , how do I fix it now without having to start over again and remove/re-upload the videos and thumbnails again. It should not be necessary once the plugin has been upgraded.
