 * Hi!
    I recently updated plugin to the latest version and now can’t get any thumbnails
   from Youtube & Dailymotion. Plugin worked excellent for months, but now is showing
   [this](http://tinypic.com/r/9qd0z7/5). Don’t know what to do. Is it possible 
   to install the previous version somehow?

 * On the debugging page, have you used the option to “Test Providers” and “Test
   Image Downloading”?
 * If you need to downgrade until this is fixed, other versions are available on
   the plugin page’s “Developers” tab. [Here’s a link to 1.8.2](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/video-thumbnails.1.8.2.zip).

 * I had the same problem after update. 1.8.2 version is working well.
    At the debugging
   page the “Test Providers” worked, the “Test Image” Didn’t worked.

 * Thanks Panos, that helps guide me in the right direction. Do you mind sharing
   what host/server you’re using?

 * Thanks for your comments and link.
    I have found the cause of the problem: When
   I write the name in a new post, post’s address is changing (/%postname%/) and
   thumbnails do not work. However, when I leave the name empty, post’s address 
   will be /numbers – not letters, thumbnails plugin works! So what I do is I write
   the name after the post is published with a thumbnail.
 * I hope it can be fixed in a new version, Sutherland?
    I also tested “Test Providers”
   and “Test Image Downloading” – everything works fine. So it must be the post’s
   name that is causing a problem for plugin..
 * Thanks again for your work!

 * Hi I faced this issue too. I think this happened because I write post title in
   Arabic.
    When I published post without title the thumbnail works ok.
 * I will be waiting for fix to this
 * thank you

 * Yes that issue with the title still exists. I have similar problem when I’m trying
   to put a title in Greek.
 * Is there going to be an update for that?

 * The thumbnail’s file name is generated from the slug, and it looks like non-latin
   characters are causing problems. If you think this is your case, try opening 
   up video-thumbnails.php and finding the line
 * `$new_filename = basename( get_permalink( $post_id ) ) . $image_extension;`
 * and replacing it with
 * `$new_filename = urldecode( basename( get_permalink( $post_id ) ) ) . $image_extension;`
 * If you can test this out and let me know that’d be great! Please test it with
   titles using the latin alphabet too.
