Can you provide an example of a video it didn’t work for?

By source URL do you mean the original video’s address, or the thumbnail URL?

If you mean just the thumbnail URL then it would be <?php if( ( $video_thumbnail = get_video_thumbnail() ) != null ) { echo $video_thumbnail; } ?>

If you aren’t comfortable with code, I recommend you just make sure the featured image setting is enabled and use a theme that supports featured images.

The initial underscore makes it a hidden custom field, so they must not be showing hidden ones. The one without the underscore is actually a custom field used on the image attachments to identify that it was created by Video Thumbnails. The GD Star Rating plugin doesn’t seem to appear on the WordPress directory, so unfortunately there’s not much I can suggest. The only possibility I can think of is making sure the plugin is setting the video thumbnail as the featured image if there’s a setting like Get Image From -> Featured Image.

This looks like a bug in the Vegas Slider shortcode. While this information may not be useful to you, it should hopefully help the developer. Shortcode callbacks should create output using return and not echo, more info here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API#Output

If it stalls for more than a minute, that means something’s gone wrong. The scanner should say something like “[284] Scanning post 44 of 65” and the number in brackets (284 in this example) is the post ID. If you open any post in the editor, you should notice the URL is something like example.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=5093&action=edit. Just replace the ID number (5093 in this case) with whatever the ID is of the post causing it to stall.

Just tested with the Customizr theme with no problems, are you using any video embedding plugins or just pasting the video into the normal editor like this?

If you can check the plugin’s files, look at plugins/video-thumbnails/php/providers/class-vimeo-thumbnails.php and see if it looks like it gets cut off somewhere in the middle. The end of the file should look like this:

if( !class_exists( 'VimeoAPIException' ) ) {
    class VimeoAPIException extends Exception {}
}
