When hosting videos on YouTube and Vimeo, the (YouTube and Vimeo) platforms provide their own players. The video URL don’t directly point to the video files; which is why you are providing the thumbnail images.

Right. Which is why I said I can’t figure out why the code on the page I mentioned isn’t showing those pregenerated previews.

You’d want to use the Flowplayer from embedded image shortcode; because you need to provide the video player (Flowplayer).

Could you be more specific about how this works?

Hi there … so, having looked at that “Display Image/Video Gallery with prettyPhoto” section in the above-linked document, I see that the link example both use YouTube and Vimeo videos as the defaults … which I can’t figure out why they aren’t providing preview images on their own.

The catch is that I am self-hosting the videos and preview images on my own server (not on WP).

What I’d really like is a gallery of images in lists with a text link/description *next to* the image.

*OR* not being able to do that …

A gallery of preview images in a grid with a Hover Description.

Can you help me with figuring out how to do this?

Also: The page I’m trying to make, with examples of the code I’ve tried:
