Now I'm wondering why it works here...??? I have something in VideoArtworkDir for 
that frontend which is also my master backend...

What it looks like it wants to do is suppress the path of the original file to 
replace it with the relative path of the file (relative to the web server root).

OK, if we replace the above line with

$this->cover_url = 'data/video_covers/'.$this->cover_file;

It should work, right? (the cover_file doesn't have a path, does it? If it does it 
would explain why it works here).

The tests for the presence of the file should be replaced to access it through the 
symlink.

Have a nice day!
