KalturaCE Thumbnails

I've been playing with thumbnail handling for my KalturaCE server implementation and I've noticed that the awesome thumbnail API that exists for media hosted on the Kaltura network does not seem to work for media hosted on my server.

More specifically, I have found that KalturaCE does not seem to support any type of dynamically generated thumbnails to use in thumbnail rotating.

Is there something I'm overlooking or is that feature not supported by KalturaCE? Thank you in advance for your attention.

well i realized that i was trying to rotate the thumbnail of a mix, which i still have not gotten to work. my workaround for this is to look up the first ready media entry of the mix, and then rotate the thumbnail of that entry.
