In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Hulu Embed codeI would like to add support for Hulu, but unfortunately I have not been able to figure out how to reverse engineer their embed code into a video link I can then use to grab the thumbnail using oEmbed.
If anyone reading this has any suggestions let me know.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Where is the plugin on post page?Be sure the post type you are using is enabled in the Video Thumbnail settings. Also make sure that “Video Thumbnails” is checked in the “Screen Options” tab when you are on the post edit page.
There should be a small “Video Thumbnail” box in the right column where a thumbnail should appear after a post is published.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Problem when publishingMost social networks get the image for a shared link using special meta tags in your site’s header. Many themes and SEO plugins add these tags automatically, so I recommend finding a plugin that will set these tags using any featured image.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] what to tell my host to get the plugin runningJust tested and didn’t have a problem with that embed code, I’m not sure why it isn’t giving an error message. If you test on localhost do you get any errors?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Videos from VimeoI’m not sure I understand your question. What do you mean by you only see YouTube fields? Are you using a theme with a field specifically for YouTube videos? Be sure you’ve tried following the steps under “No video thumbnail for this post“.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] what to tell my host to get the plugin runningWhat is the error message or an embed code you’re using for VK?
Covered this issue in this topic.
I have created a tiny plugin that modifies the behavior to search both. You can find it here.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] what to tell my host to get the plugin runningThey must still have some cURL restrictions in place, I’d recommend continuing to report to them the URLs that don’t seem to be working or find a more flexible host.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Error retrieving a thumbnail only from Youtube“Test Saving to Media Library” always downloads the same image because it is only testing the ability to download. “Test Markup for Video” is a totally separate test.
Because the request is timing out, you may be able to use this plugin to increase the default amount of time WordPress waits before giving up.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] what to tell my host to get the plugin runningI’m not sure how they’ll be whitelisting certain hosts, so I don’t know if they’ll need specific subdomains or not. You can install Core Control and enable the HTTP Access Logger to start saving a list of URLs being requested by WordPress.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Error retrieving a thumbnail only from YoutubeThe complete error message should be something like this:
✖ Error retrieving a thumbnail from the URL http://img.youtube.com/vi/dMH0bHeiRNg/0.jpg using wp_remote_get()
If opening that URL in your web browser returns anything else than an error page, the problem may be related to your web server and might be something your host administrator can solve.
Error Details: Could not resolve host: img.youtube.comSo I am curious what the part of the error after “Error Details:” says. If it says something like “name lookup timed out” check out this page and try the plugin linked there.
There’s also a possibility Google is blocking requests from your server, which you should be able to test by pinging img.youtube.com if you have command line access.
