In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Re-create / RegenerateThumbnailsVideo thumbnail information is saved in a custom field with each post, so if you delete the images without clearing the custom fields (the “Clear Video Thumbnails” does both) it will think a post still has a video thumbnail. Did scanning all posts find existing images?
Another thing to check (in case you lost your settings) is that you have a custom field entered in the settings if you are saving your videos in a separate box from the regular post content in the editor.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Re-create / RegenerateThumbnailsThe settings page for Video Thumbnails has a “Mass Actions” tab which will let you clear all video thumbnails (I’d recommend doing this first to make sure no custom fields were left behind) and there’s also a tool to scan past posts. This is all available in the free version, but the pro version does give some extra options to speed up the process.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Videos thumbnails aren't set featuredGot the email, unfortunately I still haven’t been able to track down the source of the issue.
I ended up installing the plugin on a test site and didn’t have any issues pulling a feed manually, using the cron pull mode, or the auto pull mode. I just manually pulled the feed on your site and everything seemed okay, but I had noticed that there were some previous posts it wasn’t working for. Let me know if it continues to miss thumbnails and if you can help pick up on any patterns of when it works and when it doesn’t.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] scan only without set post thumbnail postNot sure I understand your question… do you want the plugin to save a thumbnail but not set it as a post thumbnail, or do you want the bulk scanning tool to only scan posts without a post thumbnail?
If you want the bulk scanning tool to only scan posts without a post thumbnail you can upgrade to the pro version (I offer support there as well), but you should only need to use the bulk tool once for old posts so you can also just use a little patience and let the scan run fully.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Can't find thumbnailChecked it out and it seems to be a problem with that specific video, as I was able to create a test post with no problem.
If you take a look at the oEmbed info for that video provided by Vimeo you’ll notice that the address in the
<thumbnail_url>section (http://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/461/991/461991790_1280.jpg) gives an access denied error.One possible solution is to go to the Providers tab in the settings and fill in the optional settings after registering an app (it’s free) with Vimeo. This uses a different Vimeo API and will probably fix the issue.

In reply to: [Automatic Youtube Video Posts Plugin] Add Featured ImageBy default AYVP has some odd workarounds (like store the YouTube ID in the
_thumbnail_idfield), and I’ve had some trouble supporting it in my Video Thumbnails plugin, but I just released an update that hopefully is fully compatible. It should download the image to your media library and set it as a featured image. Let me know if it works for you!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Can't find thumbnailI’ve had trouble supporting Detube, I wish I could get in contact with the theme’s creator to work together to make things work more reliably. In the past it has used a modified version of Video Thumbnails, so make sure you’re using the official version and not “Video Thumbnails for Detube”. I do have a few other suggestions though.
Does clicking “Search Again” after publishing a post find the thumbnail?
Have you tried it without entering anything in the custom field setting? (theme authors could be specifying it automatically in their code)
Are you using any other video plugins like Automatic YouTube Video Posts?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Dailymotion is not workingThere is no easy fix, so you will need to ask your theme developer.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] "No video thumbnail for this post."Great, let me know the result!

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] "No video thumbnail for this post."Custom fields are usually named using a format like
video_code, so I’m guessing “External video code” isn’t the actual name it’s being saved as.Once enabling Custom Fields in the Screen Options tab, you should see a box like this. If you still can’t find it in that box, there’s a possibility your theme is using a hidden custom field (meaning the name begins with an underscore) and you’ll have to ask your theme’s developer for the name.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] "No video thumbnail for this post."So nothing shows up as the featured image or in the video thumbnail meta box in the post editor?
If those two tests are working, there’s a good chance your theme is storing the embed code in a custom field. Are you entering the embed code in a separate box from the main post content? If so, you’ll need to enter the name of the custom field in the settings page for Video Thumbnails.
To find the name of this 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 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.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Doesn't WorkDue to the some strange behaviors in AYVP thumbnails weren’t being generated until a post was updated. I believe version 2.5.2 should resolve this issue, please give it a try and let me know!
