Question by Jason Hebert · Aug 03, 2011 at 12:03 PM ·

Preview image with the JWplayer?

Hi everyone,

I got my JWplayer to work with a livestream, however is there a way to have a preview image on the player when the user has not yet hit the "play" button?

Here's my code:

<embed

flashvars="file=beheard&streamer= rtmp://ec2-50-18-135-35.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:1935/live≺ovider=rtmp"

allowfullscreen="true"

allowscripaccess="always"

id="player1"

name="player1"

src="player.swf"

width="480"

height="270"

/>
