Emfield

A Drupal mask over thumbnails...
http://drupal.org/node/587562

"A strange bug with the last version, ie a span tag wich appears over thumbnails"

It's a slightly scary Druplicon.

AlexUA: "This is a feature, and you can disable it on the main Emfield configuration page."

By the way... the Problem this Update Fixed, and the Drupal Problem-solving Approach

Go to the page of the module that has the problem.

This is incorrect

Just update to the latest version. See http://data.agaric.com/raw/druplicon-feature-embedded-media-field-overlay-post for the fun story behind it.

Emfield module must be configured to have a custom directory to store its thumbnails in, otherwise the thumbnails are put in sites/default/files as temporary files (status zero), and are cleared out when cron runs.

Agaric's (ok, Ben's) patent pending Solution-first, random notes after, presentation:

Use the file URL, not the embed code or play URL or anything else.

You can get the file URL by clicking on "This episode's permalink" - that's the URL you want to use.
