In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] "Scan All Posts" not workingThe “Clear Video Thumbnails” button will delete all the custom fields used by Video Thumbnails. It will also delete the images from the media library as well as actual image files, but only for thumbnails created since 2.0, so anything from the past 8 months.
Thumbnails added before 2.0 will never be able to be automatically removed because there’s no way to differentiate them from a thumbnail manually uploaded.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] google drive???Good news! Google Drive videos will be supported in the next version but will require entering an API key in the settings.
Can you share an example of one of the embed codes you’re using so I can test it?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Video Thumbnails [Saving files on the server]A similar problem with names exists for Arabic, so a fix is planned for languages using non-Latin characters.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Dailymotion is not workingHave you tried a YouTube video to confirm it’s only Dailymotion? I just tested a fresh embed code with no problems, so my next guess is that you may be using a theme or plugin that stores the video in a custom field, which means you’ll need to enter the name of that field in the settings.
This is something controlled by the theme, so you’ll need to edit your theme and remove the section of code showing the featured image on single post pages.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] twitch.tvJust released version 2.3 which adds basic support for Twitch video URLs and video embed codes. The thumbnails are kinda small, but they’re what Twitch supplies in their official API.
I may be able to add support for higher resolution thumbnails or supporting channel/live thumbnails, so just let me know if you have any suggestions!

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Local Thumbnails Come with Wrong Path/URLHmmm, regenerate Thumbnails wouldn’t be causing that (it’s a great plugin by the way), have you tried it with videos from other sources or ran the “Test Saving to Media Library” in the Video Thumbnails debugging section?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Errors after upgradeStrange, none of these lines changed between 2.1 and 2.2. Could you try deleting the plugin and reinstalling the latest version and see if you get any different errors?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] We didn't find a video thumbnailThat test is only to see if your server is able to download an image from another server to your Media Library.
Can you share the embed code you are using?
Are you saving the video in the normal post content area, or in a special field created by a plugin or your theme?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Vimeo Thumbnail SizeThe Vimeo Simple API is providing a larger thumbnail for that specific video, but Video Thumbnails uses Vimeo’s oEmbed API by default because it supports thumbnails up to 1280px wide.
As you’ve discovered, it looks like if the video is below a certain resolution the oEmbed API provides a smaller thumbnail (you can see the API response here).
But there’s good news! If you enter API credentials in the provider settings in Video Thumbnails, it will use Vimeo’s Advanced API and you should be able to get the 640px wide thumbnails. I hope this fixes your issue and that you’ll leave a review!

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Funny or Die thumbnail not grabbing?It looks like it wasn’t a change in the embed code, but in the URL that Video Thumbnails was expecting to find the thumbnail. I’ve created a fix that will be included in the next update.
