It only has a single column of thumbnails on the main page if I recall. Another issue was that I found it to be really awkward in terms of defining which videos were to be loaded in the script, since they had a really weird syntax. My designer and I could never really get the video to play on the main page either and we just gave up on it.
The only thing my script doesn't do is show the video time, and I did that because
the script can leech video but has to load it to get the time, which is not the purpose.

You must didn't look at the configuration; there you set all kinds of stuff affecting the
layout there.

If the video on the first page didn't play it's most likely you didn't make any flv
video when you selected content or your server installationof ffmpeg is not complete
or not the newer version.

You have to at least be willing to write some html to get what you want.
There is no way I could make a template that everybody liked. No way.

Click on each of these link and see how easy it is to control the number of thumbs
per row :

http://www.blackmonsters.com/cgi-bin...cell=customone
http://www.blackmonsters.com/cgi-bin...cell=customone
http://www.blackmonsters.com/cgi-bin...cell=customone

Now change "customone" to "customtwo", "customthree" etc... and edit
those custom cells to show all the info you want, background color etc...


You just wrap your html around the tags in the templates that have these links

The tags look like this :

<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/vlist.cgi?action=multipage&cat=latestadd&thumbsper row=4&cell=customone" -->



Then in the custom cell you have the info tags like this :

<!--VTHUMBWIDTH-->

So just add the html around it like this :

<a href=/maintv.shtml?<!--VVIDEONAME--> target=_top>
<img class=wellthumb src=<!--VTHUMBIMAGE--> border=0 width=<!--VTHUMBWIDTH--> height=<!--VTHUMBHEIGHT-->
alt="<!--VINFOTAG-->" /></a><br>
