I don't think there's a bug for that, but its been on my mind that there should be a method of specifying the thumbtime via iframe. Copying the html is fine, however you need to copy it when using a video of size 800px (or full size if the video < 800px). Otherwise you get the html which opens a popup dialog box, which won't work as well when just copying the html. i.e. If the html looks like <div id="mwe_player_0" style="position:relative;display:inline-block;width:700px;height:394px" videopayload="... Then copying the html will result in an image with a play button which links to the original file for download. If the html looks like: <div class="mediaContainer" style="position:relative;display:block;width:800px"><video... Then the video will play in browser using native html5 browser support (Assuming you have a browser that supports ogg or webm). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
