Poster on SMP

Question

Hi guys,
sadly i do have one problem right now with strobe media playback.
When i set the poster parameter to an absolute path of an image file, it works smoothly and SMP does show that picture in advance of playing the media file.
But when i do want to load dynamic pictures and a php file shall control the access on files, it does not.
So right now i do try to load a thumbnail with a php file.
The syntaxes are like that:
<?php
include('db.php');
if($_GET['action'] == 'UIShowFiles'){UIShowFiles();}
function UIShowFiles(){
     if($_GET['format']=='movie'){
          $filename = '/path_to_folder'.$_GET['file_id'];
          header('Content-Type: video/mp4');
           header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
          readfile($filename);
     }else if($_GET['size']=='thumbnail'){
          $filename = '/path_to_thumbnail_folder'.$_GET['file_id'];
          header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
          header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
          header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
          readfile($filename);
?>
So "http://example.com/movie/mymovieid" would be the path to a movie and "http://example.com/thumbnail/mymovieid" would be to the thumbnail. An htaccess with mod rewrite does the rest.
When i try the script in a browser, it works smoothly.
I also don't have any problems to play the video in SMP by givin a videoHref of "http://example.com/movie/mymovieid"
But when i try to load the poster like "http://example.com/thumbnail/mymovieid", SMP does not show any poster at all.
Does anybody know what to do. Can the headers be somehow responsible?
Thanks in advance and greetz

Hi,
You should use an extension to make SMP identify the type of the image.
