In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Playlist ThumbnailYouTube doesn’t provide a thumbnail for a playlist, but I could probably add support by simply retrieving the playlist and finding the thumbnail for the first video. Can’t guarantee when I’ll be able to add this feature though.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Video thumbnails on hoverMost video sites only provide one thumbnail through their API and because themes don’t always display thumbnails the exact same way, it would be hard to include this feature in the near future.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Change auto image nameThanks for figuring out the cause of this problem shesma, I’ve proposed a solution in this thread but I’ll repost it here.
Open up video-thumbnails.php and find the line
$new_filename = basename( get_permalink( $post_id ) ) . $image_extension;and replace it with
$new_filename = urldecode( basename( get_permalink( $post_id ) ) ) . $image_extension;If you can test this out and let me know that’d be great! Please test it with titles using the latin alphabet too.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] No featured pics in pstHave you double checked the settings page? “Save Thumbnails to Media Library” and “Automatically Set Featured Image” must both be set, but I assume they are since they’re showing up in the media library.
Also, when you manually click “Search Again” on the post edit screen, the image won’t show up in the featured image window until the page has been refreshed.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Generated thumbnails don't existAre you using post titles with non-latin characters? If you are, the solution in this thread may help you.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] No thumbnails after updateThe thumbnail’s file name is generated from the slug, and it looks like non-latin characters are causing problems. If you think this is your case, try opening up video-thumbnails.php and finding the line
$new_filename = basename( get_permalink( $post_id ) ) . $image_extension;and replacing it with
$new_filename = urldecode( basename( get_permalink( $post_id ) ) ) . $image_extension;If you can test this out and let me know that’d be great! Please test it with titles using the latin alphabet too.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Help with custom fieldInsert Video (URL) is only what your theme is calling the custom field for your convenience, the actual name of the field is probably something like
video_url, but that’s only a guess.To find the actual name of the custom field you can try clicking the “Screen Options” tab in the top right of the edit post page and then check “Custom Fields” to show custom fields on the editor screen. If this doesn’t work they may be using a hidden custom field (which means it starts with an underscore) so you’ll have to ask your theme author for the name of the field.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] create thumbnails for GIF imagesYou would have to add a highly customized class to add support for GIFs. Because the plugin typically operates by detecting a video ID and then using the ID to determine the thumbnail’s URL. Also, If your GIF is already hosted on your server you would be uploading a second copy if you have saving to media library enabled.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Blip.tv with custom field doesn't show thumbAre you storing the video’s URL or embed code in the custom field?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] WaterMarkYou should be able to find plenty of plugins that add watermarks to your images, but I think they’d typically add them to every image uploaded. If you only want them on video thumbnails for something like a play button you’ll probably have to use CSS to overlay an image.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Letter Sizing On ThumbnailThe way the thumbnail is cropped on your site is determined by your theme. It sounds like the aspect ratio it uses for recent post thumbnails doesn’t match the aspect ratio of your video. You’ll have to edit your theme’s code if you want to display the proper aspect ratio, which is something your theme’s author may be willing to help you do.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] New 3.5.2 WP Not Recognizing thumbnailsThe fix should already be available in 2.0.3

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] New 3.5.2 WP Not Recognizing thumbnailsandax nailed it, YouTube is no longer including http: in their embed codes. I’ll release a fix in the next version but for now the fix is to just add it to your embed codes.
As a side note, I’d recommend using oEmbed to embed your videos. This way you just copy and paste the video’s URL into the editor!

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Facebook ThumbnailHave you come across any other videos that don’t work? Facebook video thumbnails are usually located at http://graph.facebook.com/VIDEO_ID/picture
So you can see this link redirects to the appropriate thumbnail:

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Facebook ThumbnailJust ran the embed code provided earlier in the markup test inside the “Debugging” tab of the Video Thumbnails Settings page. Can you test the code giving the question mark or share it?
