Splash image from any frame

How to use an arbitrary frame as the splash image.

standalone demo

You can set up a splash image based on a chosen video frame.

With pseudo-streaming you can tweak the splash screen using the clip's start property. The player will seek to this position and pause there showing the frame as a splash image. In this demo we seek to the position at 62 seconds.

First you set up the player to stop at the beginning with the following setup: 

clip: {
    autoPlay: false,
    autoBuffering: true
}

JavaScript

Configuration

Here is the JavaScript configuration for above example: 

flowplayer("player", "http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.11.swf",  {
    // this will enable pseudostreaming support
    plugins: {
        pseudo: {
            url: "http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer.pseudostreaming-3.2.9.swf"
        }
    },
 
    // clip properties
    clip: {
 
        // these two settings will make the first frame visible
        autoPlay: false,
        autoBuffering: true,
 
        // locate a good looking first frame with the start parameter
        start: 62,
 
        // make this clip use pseudostreaming plugin with "provider" property
        provider: 'pseudo',
 
        // this is our video file. our server supports pseudostreaming
        url: 'http://pseudo01.hddn.com/vod/demo.flowplayervod/Extremists.flv'
    }
});
