   I'm using the plugin Video Thumbnails to fetch thumbnails from a video url specified in a custom field.
   It works great in the bakend, but on my site the posts are submitted on the front end with this code:
   

   <?php
   
   if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] )) {
   
   	if (isset ($_POST['title'])) {
   		$title =  $_POST['title'];
   	} else {
   		echo 'Please enter a title';
   	}
   	if (isset ($_POST['description'])) {
   		$description = $_POST['description'];
   	} else {
   		echo 'Please enter the content';
   	}
   
   	$video_url = $_POST['videourl'];
   
   	$post = array(
   		'post_title'	=> $title,
   		'post_content'	=> $description,
   		'post_status'	=> 'publish',
   		'post_type'     => 'post',
   	);
   	$the_post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
   
   	update_post_meta( $the_post_id, '_videoembed', $video_url);
   
   	wp_redirect( home_url(dashboard) ); 
   
   }
   do_action('wp_insert_post', 'wp_insert_post'); 
   
   ?>

   How do I launch the functionality of the plugin after submitting the new post?
   So that the video thumbnail is fetched from its source and set as post_thumbnail...

   Assuming you've already modified the plugin for the custom field, all I think you'll need to do is add a line right after update_post_meta( $the_post_id, '_videoembed', $video_url); with get_video_thumbnail($the_post_id);
