New feature question

brandofamily

I dislike double posting, but the video forum gets no reply and I'd like some answers...

My example: http://brandolinoimaging.smugmug.com...091_dqSa7-A-LB

Read the release notes:

When I go from small to full screen:
#1 I can not turn off the HD although I can turn on and off the stretch feature.
#2 When I switch back top small mode the video goes blank.
#3 How do I make these adjustments in the SM video screen: "We added four owner-configurable parameters: autoplay, hide logo, hide home button, hide share button"
#4 Owner save does not work.

Help Please.

Noone from SM can answer my questions?

Anthony - you know that for immediate answers, the help desk is the place. On the forum, it's a community based thing - we AND the community help.

I've asked an expert to stop by and answer.

#1 Turning on HD starts the video over from beginning, turning off HD does the same so to save the user frustration at having to rebuffer I only allow you to turn it on.
#2 Thats a known issue right now, somebody is working on it.
#3 Right now you have to modify the embed code manually according to the Video FAQs (http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Video+FAQ%27s ), soon there should be some switches you can just flip.
#4 There is no 'Owner Save' for movies, only 'Save Movie' which offers the various sizes of the movie for download, I just tried it and it works for me. If that's not working for you please provide a link to the problem video.

Here's my sample.... http://brandolinoimaging.smugmug.com...091_dqSa7-A-LB

As for:
#1 So I should not be able to do anything with the HD button on the video right?
#2 OK
#3 So for video using the Sm player on my site I cannot yet control this, correct?
#4 There is some sort of save button at the top when I'm logged in and it does nothing

#1 You can use the HD button to go from OFF to ON but you can't go back to OFF
#3 You can control it, you just have to manually modify the code yourself.
#4 The link you provided doesn't work, do you have a screenshot of this button?

As for #3.... if I'm NOT embedding, but using the video player on SM how do I modify the code?

#4
