    Here's the 1.8.1+Daedalon patched version of the plugin.

    Sutherland: Could you incorporate this into or release this as 1.8.2?

    Changes:

    • When changing a post status from Private to Published, a thumbnail search is done
    • If thumbnail URL redirects to a different address, the redirection is followed. Supporting some sites require this.
    • Support added for Funnie.biz images.
    • Code markup was corrected where applicable, mostly with indentation. Some comments were also added.

    I will add support for other sites based on clients' needs. Funnie doesn't yet have an embed feature, but if one is added, I will submit a patch for the plugin to support that format as well.

    What could be improved next:

    • When updating a post that didn't previously have a featured image, the plugin says "We didn't find a video thumbnail for this post" without even looking for a thumbnail. It should look for a thumbnail instead or say anything. Would this be taken care of with an action on published_to_published or one listed on Action Reference such as save_post?

    Not sure if I'm going to release this as 1.8.2 because I'm pretty close to sending the first version of the 2.0 beta to anyone who has signed up to test it. It does include your changes except for Funnie.biz. Since it's not a video site it doesn't really fit into the scope of the plugin, but when you see 2.0 you'll see how easy it will be to include support when needed.

    Thanks!
