 * Hi,
    First of all, thanks for the great plugin! I am using it on a daily basis
   for a video blog, and I am having issues with the current version. The thumbnail
   is not found is Dailymotion videos when using some checkboxes from Dailymotion“
   Export” tab. I tried your debugging panel and ended up with the following conclusions:
 * 1) Original embed code is OK :
    `<iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="
   270" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1qh7p3" allowfullscreen></iframe
   ><br /><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1qh7p3_120-secondes-l-addiction-
   aux-jeux-sur-smartphone_fun" target="_blank">120 secondes - L’addiction aux jeux
   sur smartphone</a> <i>par <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/RTS" target="_blank"
   >RTS</a></i>`
 * 2) When checking Hide Logo and/or Hide infos in the player, embed code is still
   OK:
    `<iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="//www.dailymotion.
   com/embed/video/x1qh7p3?logo=0&info=0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><a href
   ="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1qh7p3_120-secondes-l-addiction-aux-jeux-
   sur-smartphone_fun" target="_blank">120 secondes - L’addiction aux jeux sur smartphone
   </a> <i>par <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/RTS" target="_blank">RTS</a></
   i>`
 * 3) When checking Hide infos in the page, the thumbnail is not found:
    `<iframe
   frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/
   x1qh7p3" allowfullscreen></iframe>`
 * I tried with an embed code from a week ago, which worked at the time (and is 
   still ok), and the difference actually come from Dailymotion, because for some
   reason it seems that they removed the http prefix a few days ago :
    `<iframe 
   frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/
   video/x1ozi1f?logo=0&info=0"></iframe>`
 * Could it be that with the new shortened embed code (3 above), the absence of 
   http causes your plugin to fail to retrieve the thumbnail? Would you mind fixing
   this in a next update if my diagnosis is correct?
 * Thanks a lot,
 * cyril

 * Thanks for the great work diagnosing the problem! It seems like you’ve hit the
   nail on the head, so it will be very easy for me to include a fix in the next
   update.
