 * Hi, I get some videos not come from YouTube,Vimeo,Justin.tv,Blip.tv, so I need
   to use the default thumbnail for those videos. In your readme.txt file it mentions
   that I can use this code to get the default thumbnail:
    <img src=”<?php video_thumbnail();?
   >” width=”300″ />
 * But where should I put this code in?
 * Thanks,
    Stanley

 * This depends on the theme you are using. If the theme supports post thumbnails
   already, you won’t have to do anything. But assuming it doesn’t, you will have
   to insert `<img src="<?php video_thumbnail(); ?>" width="300" />` into the loop
   that is displayed on your homepage (or wherever you would like the thumbnails
   to appear).
