    Embedding Xtube Videos

    Anyone know how to embed xtube videos in a wordpress blog AND show a preview image over the player?

    I've tried the majority of plugins available for embedding tube videos in wordpress blogs, and it's easy to do this with tubes like youtube, but none of them seem to be able to handle the xtube player. Perhaps they had some custom player coded .... I've even tried manually editing the Flv parameters by adding ?image=path-to-image.jpg to the flv source file url but it doesn't work on xtube videos.

    Anyone know of a plugin that does this with xtube or know how to edit the <object> code so that a preview image will show in a blog post for xtube video clips?

      good luck man. I did a custom plugin for someone a while back and it's a ROYAL pain in the ass. They really don't want people automating it apparently

        use your own thumbnail then when you click it on it loads the video

          i created a flash "preloader" that lets you do this. basically it is a simulated flash player, looks like an embed video but you can give it a diff flash code as input as well as a thumbnail, when clicked it loads the real flash ( plus an option to trigger a popunder )

          i will either post it here or make a thread soon.
