Question about Media Converter Plugin

[filegasm]

I'm thinking about purchasing the media converter plugin, but I don't really need the conversion itself. I only want to have the feature of having the videos their own generated thumbnail image that can be seen in the media player. Is it possible to disable the conversion itself, and just use the uploaded video while being able to generate a thumbnail/cover image for it that can be seen when the player/embed is loaded?

Not at the moment, although I've considered adding the option for a while (just limited on dev time!). If you go ahead and purchase I'll schedule in the work to do it. So there'll be an option in the plugin settings to only capture the screen shot.

Or you can do it real quick if you know some php.

<?php
$frame = 10;
$movie = 'test.mp4';
$thumbnail = 'thumbnail.png';

$mov = new ffmpeg_movie($movie);
$frame = $mov->getFrame($frame);
if ($frame) {
$gd_image = $frame->toGDImage();
if ($gd_image) {
imagepng($gd_image, $thumbnail);
imagedestroy($gd_image);
echo '<img src="'.$thumbnail.'">';
}
}
?>

I'm interested on that feature being added. Just a quick question, will I be able to use the media converter after the screenshot generator option feature has been developed on my site with still an older yetishare version (v4.0.1)?

Unfortunately not, it would need to be on the latest release code.

I guess I'd have to upgrade from v4.0.1 to v4.2. Is it okay to ask about the step-by-step upgrade in the same thread? I haven't tried upgrading, and since my site has high traffic I want to be sure before doing so that there won't be problems, especially on the database part.

EDIT: I just updated my site myself since I need the feature soon, the guide on yetishare update really helped me a lot there. I just purchased the Media Converter Plugin, and raised a support ticket about this feature. I hope to hear about it soon, and more power for yetishare. I love your stuff.

I still haven't received any answers. I just realized it's a weekend. Does it mean I have to wait until monday for updates regarding this? I'm hoping it can be addressed sooner.

Important:

Due to staff holidays between the 8th February to 12th February we'll be operating limited support times and be unavailable for any custom development work. We'll do our best to respond to your ticket as quickly as possible during this period, you may also find support from the community via our forums. We'll be back to normal support from the 15th February. Thanks for your patience.

EDIT: Okay, I've just read on mfscripts support that there'll be staff holiday from 8th to 12th of Februrary. Does this mean that I'll have to wait from Feb 7 (weekend) then Feb 8-12 (5 weekdays), then it's the weekends again at Feb 13-14, and the said feature would just be started on development at Feb 15? How many days should I expect before it gets done? I don't think I can wait that long if that's the case.

I hope something can be done about it since I already purchased the plugin having in mind of getting the said screenshot generator feature sooner.

I'm still hoping that my request can be done on this coming weekdays. Hoping for the best, so I can utilized the media converter feature for my own convenience as well.

EDIT: I got a reply on my ticket. Seems that it will be done in time. Thank you very much.
