In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Video Thumbnails in VideoPress ThemeI’ve written a tutorial on modifying a theme so Video Thumbnails can scan custom content.
I think in your case this simple modification may work:
function custom_vp_video_thumbnail_markup( $markup, $post_id ) { return vp_metabox(‘video_options.embed_code’) . ' ' . vp_metabox(‘video_options.youtube_url’) . ' ' . $markup; } add_filter( 'video_thumbnail_markup', 'custom_vp_video_thumbnail_markup', 10, 2 );If it works it’d be a big help to forward to your theme’s developer and suggest they add native support for Video Thumbnails. They can also contact me if they have any questions.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] getting thumbnails from specific time on youtube videoSorry, but the plugin can only get the thumbnail provided by the source, so it’s up to the YouTube uploader to pick something good.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] DailyMotion Thumbs not workingAre you still having issues? I just tested it myself with no problem.
Did you try opening that URL in your web browser when you got the error? The URL seems to load fine right now but it was probably just a little downtime if it wasn’t loading earlier.
If it still isn’t working, there’s probably something going on with your server.
Just tested the same channel with auto publishing enabled and disabled and didn’t have any issues getting the HD thumbnails, so it’s possible there’s something funny going on with your server. If you paste one of the YouTube URLs into the markup test on the debugging tab in the settings, do you get the big or small one?
I don’t think it’s related to any recent updates because the function that converts YouTube IDs into thumbnails URLs hasn’t changed since version 2.0.6.
This probably has something to do with the individual videos, could you post an example of one that has the smaller thumbnail?
YouTube doesn’t always provide HD thumbnails, so the function that gets YouTube thumbnails looks for an HD one first then falls back to SD.
Just released version 2.5.3, let me know if it fixes your issue!

Auto-Schedule Posts must be having the same effect, so combining the old fix and the new fix will hopefully solve it.
I think I just realized the cause of the issue in this thread. Do you have “Automatically publish posts” set to “no” in the AYVP settings?
The latest version (2.5.2) was intended to fix a problem that prevented finding video thumbnails until a post was manually rescanned or published. So now the opposite is true, and it will find a thumbnail when it is automatically published but not when you manually publish or rescan. I just have to combine the code from both versions and it should work for everyone, look for a fix sometime today!

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Re-create / RegenerateThumbnailsAha! I know what’s going on now. The latest version (2.5.2) included a fix for AYVP, but I didn’t realize it would cause a problem creating thumbnails after the video was already imported. Do you have “Automatically publish posts” set to “no” in the AYVP settings? I just have to reinsert the new code alongside the older code and it will hopefully fix the issue.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Re-create / RegenerateThumbnailsWhen you scanned past posts, it should say something like “Found 0 new thumbnails and 6 existing thumbnails”, did it say found 0 existing?
When you deactivate the plugin it erases its settings, so there’s a chance you former developer had entered something into the “Custom Field” section of the settings page. If when you create a post you are entering your video’s embed code or URL anywhere other than the normal post content area (this is what the editor looks like) you’ll need to enter the name of that custom field in the settings. If you are using another video plugin or a theme designed for videos, it’s common for there to be a separate box (like this) on the edit screen just for videos.
If this is the case, to find the name of the custom field open up the post editor, click the “Screen Options” tab in the top right, then check “Custom Fields”. You should now see a “Custom Fields” section (looks like this) in the editor with a list of custom field names and values. The name of the field with your embed code is the name you’ll enter in the settings.
If this isn’t the case, try using the tests in the debugging tab of the settings page.
