Was hoping to offer some video on one of my sites. Not much maybe a 2 hour slot weekly. However I have a slight problem. Is there anyway to display an image or maybe even a frame of video when there is not a video playing. I,m trying to do this as if it was live. So the 2 hour video can only be watched at a certain time, the rest of the time I would like something displayed in the player that isnt going to use loads of bandwith. I have got it to work where the site checks for the server time and displays the video player when i want it to then displays an image the rest of the time, was just curious really if it was possible manipulate the player to have a default display when no video was to be shown.

I think you need a bit of code that checks the time, if there is no scheduled video just display an image.

Ye thats roughly what i was thinking, I done something similar in php to display the player or an image in place of the media player at certain times. Got to figure out how to do it client side to display the image in the player. What makes it even more difficult is the fact that i will be working with local time so would need to take that into account. Don't know if it is possible to pass the server time to javascript say, thats what i will look into. Thanks for the reply.
