Media Library

Creating Thumbnails

You can create thumbnails for all videos stored in the Media Library that were recorded on the Portal Server. If given publishing permissions, you can replace the generic video clip icon with a snapshot of the video or with any .jpg or .gif image you choose. The folders to which you can upload thumbnails are configured by an VEMS Portal Server administer. (Note that thumbnail images that exceed 512 K in size are not displayed in the VOD list on a WM IP Receiver; a special icon is used instead).

TTo create a thumbnail:

1.Launch a stored video and click Create Thumbnail on the Options menu at anytime to capture the first frame in the video. This will automatically replace the existing thumbnail if any.

2.Repeat until you are satisfied or mouseover the title and click the Remove Thumbnail icon to replace it with the generic icon.

TTo upload your own thumbnail image:

1.Launch a video and select Upload Thumbnail from the Options menu.

2.Browse to the jpg or gif image and click Upload Image.

3.Click Cancel to close the window.

TTo bookmark any point in a stream playing in the preview window:

1.Launch any video from the Media Library.

2.Click the Bookmark button at any point in the video. This displays a message and creates a bookmark/playlist in the My Media folder. The bookmark defaults to the end of the file and has the following format:
