As designed Media slider widget

[beerForo]

Affected version

2.1.2

...is missing the "Play" icon for videos.

It becomes confusing because they look like pics. The Media page has the icon, the slider does not. Thanks

This is a deliberate decision because at certain screen sizes and positions the slides may be very small and not have enough room to display an icon.

@Chris D
When it's in the sidebar I understand, the squares are tiny.
But if you add the widget in the regular feed, under Latest posts, for example, it has the regular sized squares. Is there any way to have the icon show in that widget? It's very confusing to my members because most want to watch videos. If I click the title it takes me to the MG, and they are the same size boxes but have the icons, so they fit. Thanks

I´ld like to back up beer foro, Chris. Would be glad, you guys could add an option, to have those "Play" buttons back again. Does indeed happen frequently that users don´t get it, that those "Images" are in fact videos.

You can make a suggestion if one doesn’t already exist but it still isn’t a bug.

XF 2.1 - Can anyone help add the video identification icons to the media slider?

XFMG has YT and Vimeo etc. icons on thumbs. I use the full size media slider in What's New, not the the sidebar placement. So the thumbs are large enough for the video icons, but XF does not add them because this slider can also be used in the sidebar and the thumbs are tiny. Would anybody be...
