Hi there,

Currently, we will crawled those images based on the video og tag and and those videos uses large og images and will us them instead. As for our demo, it is because our demo still not on it latest version actually. I have asked our developer to update them. Thanks for your understanding.

Ah ok. I see.

The video images are sometimes very big. 2272 × 1704 px
For thumbnails, it's a bit heavy.
Which file defines the choice of this og images, compared to the old version of EasySocial (your demo) ?

Thank you Warith

Hi there,

Currently, we are fetching it original image tag, according to og image given for that videos and for our older version, we only fetch the image, convert them and use small version of the images.

Here i included codes we used on our older version and current version. You can modify them here .../administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/video/video.php

[gist type="php"]
//current version 2.2.1
if ($opengraphImage) {
$thumbnail = $params->opengraph->image;
} else if (isset($params->oembed->thumbnail)) {
$thumbnail = $params->oembed->thumbnail;
}

//version 2.1.x
if ($opengraphImage) {
$thumbnail = $params->opengraph->image;
} else if (isset($params->oembed->thumbnail)) {
$thumbnail = $params->oembed->thumbnail;
}
[/gist]

Please give it a try and see how it goes.

Ok. Thank you.

On this subject, I saw that JomSocial offers a nice feature :
It offers two sizes for video : the video thumbnail size in wall stream and full width for elsewhere places.

I believe that is merely just css to define the width of the image (html wise), but the image source is still the same.

Oh I see.

I wish there is a better way of handling this but as of now, customers are complaining about too many files being generated

Hard to please everyone

Yeah, exactly and adding too much settings is not ideal too because customers would keep asking about what each settings does.
