I looked into ffmpeg and it's a monster to install and configure properly.
On top of it I have to recompile it on the server end to capture a frame and
then turn it into a thumbnail.
Since I don't have a week to figure it out, the customer will have to upload
their own thumbs until something bette
One thing I have found with witango and external actions, is to NOT
run them from a share or server, always on local disk. This helps
minimize witango crashing, if you run them off of anything other than
local disk, tons of problems.
This is also why I wrote my own wrappers around external
I think most video producers will want to control the poster image
for a video. Youtube for example, takes a frame from the middle of a
clip, which means you have to pad the video in order to get the
desired frame. That's a pain.
Any producer can easily grab a single frame from their vide
But, YouTube uses the flash video server along with Adobe Premier web
edition. Both those softwares are about $7000.00 each.
Getting the user to take a screen cap and upload it, then resize it will be
the best option.
I haven't used image magic, but I'll see how hard it is to configure and
I have done it before, but it was a long time ago. mplayer has a
method, called screenshot, which if I remember you can specify with
the time in. Mplayer does require compiling, but I have done it on
mac, windows, and linux, its not too bad.

You don't need that to serve like youtube. If you are only using FLV
video, there is a plugin for wordpress for FLV, that automatically
does poster images from the FLV video. Probably written in php, just
need to reverse engineer.

yup, all email addresses are valid and exist.
I found that the gmail server (smtp.gmail.com) uses SSL so I switched to
another server (smtpout.secureserver.net) that doesn't. I now no longer get the
STARTTLS error. Instead a get an
Error: -330
which means "Unknown error" which aint very useful
Norm,
The fact that the SMTP server is requesting a STARTTLS session means that the
SMTP server is requiring a secure session, and to the best of my knowledge, it
isn't supported in Tango.
If you have the ability to configure your SMTP server, you can easily create an
