 * Hi,
 * I have been pulling my hair to accomplish the same thing. It is such an obvious
   feature (since there are so many people running video autoblogs with premium 
   themes) yet it is either non-existent or very difficult to find.
 * The closest I’ve come is using:
    1) the Custom Field Manager plugin that lets
   you to enter custom fields en masse in conjunction with, 2) the Youtube Thumbnailer
   plugin that then populates the created custom field with the thumbnail image 
   URL from Youtube.
 * However, I am using the eVid Theme (by Elegant Themes) that will not show a thumbnail
   from an http URL (for reasons of bandwidth and slow page load times) and only
   accepts file paths.
 * So my question is, can someone who knows PHP tell me how to hard code Youtube
   Thumbnailer’s files so that it links to the upload media directory???

 * Does this technique work with auto video blogs?
 * I want to build a video blog that uses the eVid theme (from Elegant Themes) and
   the MyVideoBlog plugin that pulls keyword relevant videos from Youtube.
 * Unfortunately, neither the images nor the thumbnails show by default. That is
   because eVid requires an additional Custom Field called ‘Thumbnail’ and a Value
   with a path or URL to the thumbnail image.
 * I don’t want to do this manually for 200+ posts. Is this what this plugin does?
   If not, is there some other plugin that does this job?
 * Please assist!
