Hi all;
Because of a recent issue with omeka and imagemagick that took me and other folks weeks to figure out how to work around, I’m starting to look at alternate ways of generating thumbnail images for video files.
The problem is, there doesn’t seem to be any way to do that-from what I can see in the manual and the forum topics I’ve dug up, the only way to get Omeka to accept and use thumbnail files outside of the autogeneration process is to manually create the files with a tool outside of omeka, then put the thumbnails directly into the omeka filesystem (using something like scp), then modify fields in the database so that omeka knows they exist. I can’t find any way of uploading pregenerated thumbnails using the omeka UI. Does one exist and I’m missing it?
Is there a plugin that would allow you to manually upload a thumbnail for a video file that’s already in omeka? I don’t see anything that would seem to do that.
