    Hi

    I am trying to add a thumbnail to a video hosted on Amazon S3. The video is embeded on a post.

    This is the code I am using:

    [wp_lightbox_embed_protected_s3_video name=”my video name” bucket=”my bucket” width=”360″ height=”200″ auto_thumb=”1″]

    But it does not work

    Any ideas, please.

    Hi, currently there is no such parameter for our Amazon S3 shortcodes. auto_thumb is a parameter for our YouTube and Vimeo shortcodes. So you will have to specify your own image like the following:

    [wp_lightbox_embed_protected_s3_video name="my video name" bucket="my bucket" width="360" height="200" poster="http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/images/thumb.jpg"]

    I would like the player always be displayed at the top of the page in a fixed position (css position: fixed;) while text would be scrolling up and down on the page.

    I use embedded player, like in the example below:

    [wp_lightbox_embed_protected_s3_video name=”my video name” bucket=”my bucket” width=”360″ height=”200″ poster=”http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/images/thumb.jpg”%5D

    Would you suggest changing .css formatting for wp_lightbox_embed_protected_s3_video or adding php code and css formatting to the page ?

    Many thanks, Alex

    @alexkir, the video is directly embedded into the page. So it shouldn’t really move. Can I take a look at the page where you are using the shortcode?
