Set poster image

[onetwo12]

I am trying to set poster image after the player is initialized but with no success. I am
using this version of the player https://github.com/videojs/video.js-component (since I don't know how to make build from the source files).

I saw here #525 that changes are made with the new 'posterchange' event but the commit is done after the last version on video.js-component.

Is this change #525 going to enable changing poster image after initialization?

That update hasn't been released in a version yet but should be soon.

If you follow the steps in the contributing doc, you can build a version that has the update.

IMO you shouldn't close a bug report as long as the bug still exists in latest released version of your code.

Isn't the whole point of all these automated tests and build processes to release software faster? As I see it's more than six months since the fix was committed for poster change.

I disagree on the first point, but agree on the second. I've been doing a lot of work to speed up the release process over the last few weeks so that should improve. The biggest challenge is still automated testing across browsers and devices. There's still a lot of manual testing that's required, and will be until device emulators actually perform like real devices when it comes to video.
