I make little modification on jw player that do the following:
1. Autostart video.
2. Display preview image in the player - when video is stop.(if delete autostart it show at page load).
3. Show video info in the info tab of the player menu: Title, Author, Date Added, Description, Image Thumbnail.
To make modification open players.tpl and replace code between <!--[if !IE]> --> and <!--[if IE]> --> with
<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' width='470' height='300'>
<param name='movie' value='player.swf'>
<param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'>
<param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'>
<param name='wmode' value='transparent'>
<param name='flashvars' value='author={$video[video].creator}&description={$video[video].description}&date={$video[video].date}&file=http://www.youtube.com/v/{if $video[video].file eq""}{$videoid}{else}{$video[video].file}{/if}&image={$video[video].picture}&title={$video[video].name}&autostart=true&icons=false&menu=false' />
<embed
type='application/x-shockwave-flash'

width='470'
height='300'

flashvars='author={$video[video].creator}&description={$video[video].description}&date={$video[video].date}&file=http://www.youtube.com/v/{if $video[video].file eq""}{$videoid}{else}{$video[video].file}{/if}&image={$video[video].picture}&title={$video[video].name}&autostart=true&icons=false' />
</object>
<!-- <![endif]-->Options:
1. To disable autostart make it =false.
2. To show play an load icons make icons=true.
3. To disable img just delete: &image={$video[video].picture}.
And the bad news - nothing of this work in IE of course

. I can't say why.
Well i hope you liked.
