videos do create a thumbnail as part of the conversion. i have not tested with audio. as for photo albums, they acquire their cover from the first image loaded i do believe. but yes, there should be some means of adding a cover when you create an album for photos.
uploading audio, provides the default album cover. i presume you can change this. i will dig up how to manage this.
i did for the first time succeed in using the flash uploader for an audio file. have typically had to revert to the regular uploader.
funny thing about this is that I have no cron job set. now the regular uploader did fail, and i presume that was because there is in fact no cron to process the conversion.
well that was a wild discovery. can somebody else sign up and test that. see if you can in fact upload an audio file using the flash loader. might have to hit me up and get your permissions level changed. if there are any out there who wish to participate in the testing of these issues. just join the site. terabyte-hosting.com
flash uploader did not require cron, so its not processed with ffmpeg. i didnt know that.
