trq Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 You are indeed being VERY vague and unhelpful. If you want help, you need to ask the right questions and provide useful information to those trying to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpSensei Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thorpe I believe he wants to retrieve a thumbnail based on the youtube video. such as http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/r6TwzSGYycM/default.jpg edit: You seem to have that part working, I don't understand the problem.

ecabrera Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 yeah phpSensei is right but i don't want to retrieve it from a YouTube video i want it to retrieve it from the embed videos that are in my database there or from other video sharing websites i tryed that code with it and nothing all it gives me is this *check attachment [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiations3 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 <img src='http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/$movieid/default.jpg> the mentioned img src will only return the image saved in $movieid/default.jpg that depicts you need to create the folders for every single video and save their image as default.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
