This release add following new features:

Automatic Video-Thumbnail Generation

Now, along with converting your videos, the FFMPEG converter also creates and sets an image thumbnail. It uses an algorithm to choose the best thumbnail. It also creates two additional thumbnails that you can switch to, in case you don’t like the default one.

You can test this on our live demo server. Also following screenshot shows interface to select thumbnail:

Spanish Translation Added

A while ago, BuddyPress Media got translation ready and now ships with multiple languages.

Now, BuddyPress Media FFMPEG Converter is translation ready, as well. In fact, this version includes the Spanish translation.

You can add your own translations on our translation project or directly to your copy.
