I would like to know why video-thumbs are so poor quality.

Hi, Piero.

Do you mean videos from UPLOADED videos or linked from e.g YouTube?
If for uploaded, try to set Video Quantizer Scale in Video configuration to 2.
Then check if there is any change in image quality.

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

I mean linked videos.
The thumbs are really poor quality.

Hi, Piero.

They are just too small and are stretched by css.
Your thumbs are 112x84... too small.
You can change this by editing this file: administrator/components/com_community/default.ini
Line 58, set it like: videosThumbSize=320x180

Hi, Piero.

Then could you check if this file contains any 112x84 values?

Checked, the files doesn't contains any 112x84

I'm very curious where the video thumbs comes sized 112x84
Everywhere (stream, video list, featured, etc) it comes stretched causing really poor quality.
I also tried to change template but no result.

Hi, Piero.

Ok, then check in your database in _community_config.
Look for "videosThumbSize".

Michal.... you are great! :o)
Now it's PERFECT QUALITY for video thumbs!
Of course it only for new video.....
Have you some cue/idea to fix old previous linked videos?

Hi, Piero.

Great :)

Yes, there is a way. Go to a single video page in click "Fetch Thumbnail": prntscr.com/45j6mx
It should recreate thumbnail in new size.
