Video Thumbnails 2.0 Beta

Are you going to fix the thumbnails with twitch/justin embeds? I can’t seem to get them to work.

This is a very old thread, is 2.0beta still alive?

Hi, i want to use thumbnails, instead of big videos.
I’ve installed the plugin. But i do not understand how it works.
It suppose to do it automatic, when you paste the code of youtube in your post?
Is there an “how to use”?
B.t.w. I am building my first WP site.

Thnx, Andrew

I have multi video service in “custom field”. Then i need post more custonm fild name; but When I save the page return white , can fix :/?

Would be also awesome to be able to pick the part from the video you want to show as thumbnail!

I got the email thanks brotha 🙂 Oh i have two wordpress accounts, lost one then registered the other and between browsers logged in with both lol.. my bad… 🙂

Hi, I may be able 2 help with…..

Scan on Demand and Automatically

There are also reports that in certain situations the plugin doesn’t scan on publish, so thumbnails have to be manually scanned. I’d like to fix this, but need some help discovering what circumstances lead up to this.

I faced this problem with gravity forms, it allows user submitted content on the front end and you have options to create a draft, pending review or publish. When using the publish option, video thumbnails doesn’t grab the thumbnail.

I’d like to reiterate, I don’t code, what I’ve done is probably harmful so I’d love some advice. I solved this by removing function video_thumbnails_past_callback() from the plugin and adding to my themes function.php I then changed it to

function video_thumbnails_past_callback() {
	global $wpdb; // this is how you get access to the database

	$post_id = $_POST['post_id'];

	echo get_the_title( $post_id ) . ' - ';

	$video_thumbnail = get_video_thumbnail( $post_id );

	if ( is_wp_error( $video_thumbnail ) ) {
		echo $video_thumbnail->get_error_message();
	} else if ( $video_thumbnail != null ) {
		echo '<span style="color:green">✔</span> Success!';
	} else {
		echo '<span style="color:red">✖</span> Couldn\'t find a video thumbnail for this post.';
	}

}

?>

So I basically removed the Die, I then put this code within a post loop so it could grab the post id rather than rescanning all posts.

<?php
if (has_post_thumbnail( $post_id ))
  {
  //do nothing coz it has 1
  }
else
  {
  video_thumbnails_past_callback();
}
?>

It “works”, I’d love to know…… if there is anything wrong with what Ive done as I’m a complete amateur.
