You can set custom thumbnail for each file type of allowed media type. Use rtmedia_allowed_types
filter in your theme or plugin and set ext_thumb
value for that media type.
Following is the demo code to set custom thumbnail for .mp4 and .mov file format of media type video.
add_filter( 'rtmedia_allowed_types', 'rtmedia_custom_thumb_mp4_mov', 999, 1 );
function rtmedia_custom_thumb_mp4_mov( $types ){
if( isset( $types['video'] ) ){
$types['video']['ext_thumb'] = array(
'mp4' => 'thumbnail url here',
'wmv' => 'thumbnail url here',
);
}
return $types;
}
