Video thumbnails via Atom

[Steve Woolf]

Hi there -

I've looked high and low but I can't seem to track down the correct URL syntax to pull a medium- or small-sized thumbnail via an Atom feed.

Anyone have a clue as to the syntax?

E.g.: http://mysite/xn/atom/1.0/content(type='Video')?
xn_auth=no&
order=published@D&
from=0&to=6&
thumbnail=small


Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

The object type you look for is VideoPreviewFrame for example:

http : / /mix.jetsetshow.com/xn/atom/1.0/content(type='VideoPreviewFrame')?order=published@D&from=0&to=6

Will bring you the latest 6 video preview frames, the urls are stored in the <content> elements and have the original dimensions. To get them in other sizes all you need to do is to append width and/or height parameters to that url of the image, ning will do the resizing for you, for example:

http : / / api.ning.com/files/PrJ3AgBJP6CqXkEZ9XLTX9e7Rg*aHTo6DN9FtTydohw_/4642147.bin?height=60

Hey guys,

Couldn't help but notice this thread.

I was looking to show the 6 thumbnails on the video page, on the homepage within a text box that is playing a larger sized video.

I understand what the code mentioned does (ie pull the thumbnails), but couldn't figure out how to embed it on the homepage. Basically I want the thumbnails to show up right on the homepage even though when they are clicked, users will get redirected to the Video page.

Thanks
