As it is, in the current version of <code>flv()</code> and <code>flvstring(</code>), there is no parameter to pass in the newly added "postimage" variable. When run as is, I get the blue box. I went in an manually added a post image, so for example, in line 104 of flvstring(), I added <code>&postimage=http://localhost/postimage.jpg</code> after the <code>FlashVars</code> string, which read <code>movie=$movie&$options</code>. So my version read <code>movie=$movie&$options$postimage=http://localhost/postimage.jpg</code>. This worked, loading postimage.jpg behind the play button. I then went back and changed it again to <code>movie=$movie&$options&postimage=</code>. Leaving a blank value for <code>postimage</code> got rid of the blue box. Thus, in the next version, I think you should add parameters to <code>flv()</code> and <code>flvstring()</code> for postimage, with the defualt value being and empty string. Then, add one more conditional in <code>flvstring()</code> to add the <code>postimage</code> value to the <code>$options</code> array before imploding it. I would be happy to send you the flash.php I've come up with, let me know.

When I moved the page to a linux machine, the blue box now takes up the entire image behind the play button. So, this seems to be caused by the poster image feature. I am currently not using a post-image, but it's defaulting to this blue box. I'll keep playing around to see what I can find, but any other help or suggestions would be appreciated. trevor on "Blue Box behind Play Button" http://www.osflv.com/topic.php?id=284#post-639 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:42:39 +0000 trevor 639@http://www.osflv.com/ To clarify, I happens in all browsers, and it's only on the still image. It goes away as soon as you start playing the video, and from that point forward everything works great. trevor on "Blue Box behind Play Button" http://www.osflv.com/topic.php?id=284#post-638 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:36:45 +0000 trevor 638@http://www.osflv.com/ I was testing out how this plugin works, and so I just put it up with the provided "video.flv" and "demo.php". However, when I use this or any other video, there is a large blue square, taking up about a 1/4 of the image behind the play button. The square is in the lower-left corner, I have a screen-shot I can e-mail if that helps. Please advise.
