Hello,

Is it possible, to show the preview image, until click the play button?

Thank you

Hi,

the poster would be shown by default,

but if the video itself would be loaded too depends on the browser and the 'html5preload' setting:
https://krpano.com/plugins/videoplayer/#html5preload

E.g. try using html5preload=metadata or html5preload=none to avoid any video loading until calling play.

Best regards,
Klaus

I tried by adding html5preload="none"

Code

<plugin name="video"		       url.flash="%SWFPATH%/plugins/videoplayer.swf"			url.html5="%SWFPATH%/plugins/videoplayer.js"		        pausedonstart="true"		        loop="true"		        volume="1.0"		        html5preload="none"		       			onclick="togglepause();"		        onloaded="add_video_sources();"		        />

but the poster image not remain on the player it shows for a very short time and loads the video.

I need poster image there until i click the play icon.

Thank you

Hi,
I also have the same problem. I've tried html5preload="metadata", and the poster image is visible only for a very short time.
As an aside, if I set html5preload="none", there is still a network request in the network console in Chrome, exactly similar to "metadata".
Thanks
