 * Hi,
    i have FFMPEG installed and everything with your plugin is working fine 
   without the featured image and i dont know why.
 * I can generale thumbnails when i import a video and select one but it isnt set
   as featured image (i tried both variants). The picstures are in the library but
   it isnt been set as featured image automatically.
 * When i use the bulk processing it doesnt work either.
 * Any idea? Thank you !

 * Are each of your videos associated with a different post? The plugin relies on
   the video having a post parent in the WordPress database in order to set the 
   featured image.

 * Yes, every video is a single post.

 * I tried it wit another browser, same
    I deactivated all other plugins, same
 * Its okay, because the thumbnail is stored in the media library it is only 2 more
   clicks 😉 No problem. The tool is really great!

 * I have the same problem, do you have any suggestion on how to use a hook or a
   filter to include the last missing step? thanks
