In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] multiple oembedsI guess I should clarify the video discovery process a bit. This happens because the plugin goes through providers one at a time to scan for videos, and stops at the first one it finds.
This means that it looks for the first YouTube video, then the first Vimeo video, then the first Facebook video, and so on. Originally the plugin was only designed for YouTube, but since adding other providers it doesn’t always get the first video. This may be fixed in the future but I want to make sure it doesn’t impact performance.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Change auto image name@halkibsi I’ll look into this as a fallback for certain languages, but I used to have complaints about image filenames that were only using numbers.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] set thumbnail as custom fieldThe URL is saved to the “_video_thumbnail” custom field. This can be changed near the beginning of video-thumbnails.php in this line:
define( 'VIDEO_THUMBNAILS_FIELD', '_video_thumbnail' );Disclaimer: I don’t recommend doing this because I can’t guarantee it will work, you’ll have to change it again after every plugin update, and it might not always be possible to change this easily. But if you don’t have any other option it’s worth a shot. Also, good themes should be using post thumbnails and custom image sizes instead of timthumb.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] get_video_thumbnail URLYou’ll need to run a MySQL command on your custom fields. This post has a section on how to do this.
I’d like to update the plugin so this doesn’t happen, but the solution I’d prefer would cause headaches for a lot of users who have built around it’s current functionality.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] show thumb video on rssThere’s no easy way, but the simplest would be to create a special embedding shortcode that would tie in with video thumbnails and save a thumbnail URL in the shortcode. Then it would need to detect if an RSS feed was being displayed and display the image rather than embed code.
If you aren’t picky about the thumbnail appearing in the same position or being able to support more than one thumbnail in a post, you can try this out.
Assuming this was related to AYVP so I’m marking it as resolved since 2.0.8 should fix the AYVP featured image bug.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] No featured pics in pstMarking this as resolved because featured images should be working with AYVP now.
I’m aware there’s still an issue with saving the thumbnail during the actual import using AYVP and I’m working on a fix, but that’s a different topic.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] No featured pics in pstOkay guys, released a better fix. Version 2.0.8 should be able to reliably detect if a featured image value is a YouTube ID set by AYVP and overwrite it with the proper thumbnail ID.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] No featured pics in pstThe featured image bug should be partially fixed in 2.0.7, but I just realized it may still exist when a YouTube ID imported by AYVP begins with a number, so let me know your results!

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] No featured pics in pstHey guys, I believe I have a fix for the AYVP featured image issue on the way. Once that’s fixed I’ll be working on the bug where you may have to click “Search Again”.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Error retrieving a thumbnail from the URLJust a few questions: Is cURL enabled on your server? Will it download thumbnails from another source?
Something seems to be preventing your server from making external requests, this plugin‘s HTTP module may be able to help you diagnose the problem.
@elvis please start a new thread with your specific issues and include as much information about your site as possible (host, PHP version, anything else you can think of)
I’ll try to have it out today

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Unnecessary image in postIt looks like you’re using the Detube theme and both of these issues seem related to the theme. You’ll need to contact the author since it is a paid theme.
