    Mmm never mind, I solved:

    add_action('save_post', 'save_other_video_thumbnail', 100, 1);
    function save_other_video_thumbnail($post_id) {
    $postdata = get_postdata($post_id);
    	if ($postdata['post_status'] == 'future') {
    		get_video_thumbnail($post_id);
    	}
    }

    I realy thank you! You save me…. THANKS A LOT for this fix! 🙂

    Hi! I had the same problem, but I wanted to get video thumbs generated when I save as draft. I use to save lots of topics as draft and after a while I edit them and schedule it, but if you don’t have the video thumbnail generated right after the first save, you are unable to know if the thumbnail is nice enough 🙂

    So, I added a bit of code to what CristianOspina did:

    add_action('save_post', 'save_other_video_thumbnail', 100, 1);
    function save_other_video_thumbnail($post_id) {
        $postdata = get_postdata($post_id);
        if ( $postdata['post_status'] == 'draft' OR $postdata['post_status'] == 'future') {
            get_video_thumbnail($post_id);
        }
    }

    Hope this help others with similar issues.

    Thanks everybody for the ideas 🙂

    This really needs to be built-in setting in the plugin, otherwise you have to remember to edit the code every time a new update is released, which is often.

    @noyz319: you don’t need to touch the plugin files. The code may be pasted at the end of your theme’s functions.php file 😉

    You’re right! I’ve been doing it the dumb way forever now, this is perfect. Thanks!
