 * Hi Sutherland, Thanks for the great plugin! I am running the most recent beta
   version, but when I “Scan for thumbnail” in the Debugging tab I receive the following
   error.
 * Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /home/n2kard5/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/video-thumbnails-1/php/providers/class-youtube-thumbnails.
   php on line 50
 * Do you know how I can fix this? I have tried running the non-beta version and
   it also has troubles pulling thumbnails. It must be conflicting with my theme
   somehow, but is there a way around it?
 * Thanks
    -Gambit

 * It seems like your server might not be able to make the remote connection. Can
   you test it using Vimeo and see if you get an error?

 * Here is the error I get when I try vimeo.
 * ✖ Error: Error retrieving video information from the URL [http://vimeo.com/api/oembed.xml?url=http%3A//vimeo.com/64995776](http://vimeo.com/api/oembed.xml?url=http%3A//vimeo.com/64995776)
   using wp_remote_get()
    If opening that URL in your web browser returns anything
   else than an error page, the problem may be related to your web server and might
   be something your host administrator can solve. Details: Couldn’t resolve host‘
   vimeo.com’

 * You’ll need to contact your hosting provider, it seems like they aren’t allowing
   your site to make external requests.
