    Great plugin! Thank you!

    This works great in a single blog post without a shortcode, which is what I need. My issue is that I am using a Pinterest type theme and the video image does not show up on the blog/home page because it is not a featured image. How could I go about doing this? I have written to the theme developer also but not sure who to ask, you or them? 🙂

    I can add a featured image along with the video but then I get a generic type image on the front/blog page (http://www.nerium.me/ – scroll down) and the single post page looks stupid (http://www.nerium.me/nerium-business-opportunity/#arve-load-video) with both a featured image at the top and the video image below. I’d prefer to use the video image automatically on both.

    Anyway, you can help?

    Appreciate it & thank you for your help.

    There is a plugin that does exactly what you try to do http://wordpress.org/plugins/video-thumbnails/ (I used some code from it).

    You could try if this works together with ARVE and report back.

    Hi Nico thanks for the help!

    So the plugin you suggested works alright for adding the featured image that now shows on the blog page but I have two issues.

    1) On the blog page I now see the link for the video that doesn’t display on the first line of the excerpt: http://youtu.be/SVuntolBzG0?rel=0

    See here: http://www.nerium.me/ … scroll towards bottom, look for Nerium Esthetician Endorsements.

    If I try to use CSS = .featured-image{display:none;} then I will lose all featured images on posts… not good.

    2) Now on the single post page I see both the featured image and the video… also not good.

    See here: http://www.nerium.me/nerium-esthetician-endorsements/

    I believe I need a snippet to add to functions.php that says something like this:
    if .arve-wrapper exist on the single post page then don’t display .featured-image

    AND ALSO…

    how do we get rid of the link for the video that displays on the blog page?
    I tried using the following CSS = .blog .entry-content p:first-line {display:none;} and that didn’t work, but even if it did, then I will lose the first line of each article.. again no good.

    So how can I go about this? Any ideas?

    I really appreciate your help!
    Thank you!

    Sorry but this specific questions are to much that are a mix of having to do with your theme, WordPress maybe the other plugin and I think not this one but I may.

    I have no time for figuring out peoples problems like this on a free plugin. I am working hard on my own project and actually thinking of telling the wordpress.org guys to shut this forum down because the pressure I feel having to answer every topic here is getting on my nerves right now.

    The plugin I suggested seems to do what you asked in the first place so I am making this as resolved now. Please hire a freelancer or invest some of you own time on this specific problems like this.

    Thanks.

    FYI: or anyone else with the same type of issue use:
    The Responsive Video Light Plugin + The Video Thumbnails Plugin = GREAT!

    Thanks Nico, have a great day!
