In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] 10,000 broken thumbnails. need to clear thumbs!You can run the clear thumbnails tool again if it times out, which is very likely if you have 10,000 images to delete. Just check your media library each time to make sure it’s actually making progress.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Thumbnails don't show up for FB or VimeoIf your theme has a special input just for the video link, you’ll need to set the name of the custom field on the Video Thumbnails settings page. You can use the “Automatically Detect” button to try to find the name of the field, and if it isn’t successful you can ask your theme’s developer for the name.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Conflict with Woocommerce product category shortcodeI can’t release an update for them, but I can tell you the change that will be included. In the woocommerce.php file, change this:
public function include_template_functions() { if ( $this->is_request( 'frontend' ) ) { include_once( 'includes/wc-template-functions.php' ); } }to this:
public function include_template_functions() { include_once( 'includes/wc-template-functions.php' ); }Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Video Thumbnail from Media LibraryVideo Thumbnails will only fetch thumbnails for videos from the list of supported sites. Decoding videos uploaded to your own server isn’t supported because it would require special server resources unavailable to most users.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] How to set video from media?Unfortunately no. Most servers cannot handle video processing, so only the list of sites in the description are supported.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Conflict with Woocommerce product category shortcodeI consider this to be a bug in WooCommerce, so I’ve reported the issue to them and hope to work it out.
If you’re interested in a semi-technical explanation: Video Thumbnails has to make sure shortcodes get converted before it searches a post for videos. When it does this while you’re saving a post, WooCommerce doesn’t think it needs to include all of its functions because it isn’t being displayed in your site’s theme.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Plugin is activated but does not show in wordpressThere isn’t much to see, but there should be a page for Video Thumbnails in the settings section of your dashboard. There should also be a video thumbnail meta box when using the post editor. If you don’t see either of these I’d recommend deleting and reinstalling, it’s possible something went wrong while installing.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Unable to extract thumbnails from CDN providerUnfortunately it is unlikely I will be able to add support because it is a paid service. If they are willing to work with me or offer an account for development purposes it may be possible. An alternative I would recommend is Wistia.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Downloading more than 1 image?Vimeo thumbnail dimensions can vary from video to video, so if you use the “Test Markup” tool in the debugging tab of the Video Thumbnails settings page you can find what the thumbnail dimensions for a specific video.
The maximum dimension setting is designed as a limit so that people who don’t need large images can reduce the dimensions to their defined size. So if a thumbnail provided is smaller than the maximum, it will not be affected.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Downloading more than 1 image?Quality is the compression level, and compression affects file size, but not dimensions.
I thought you were trying to limit the number of images created by sizing down the largest thumbnail created for a video, so I’m not sure what you are asking. The image sizes in functions.php are defining the sizes of images you want to use in your theme, so they should be set to the dimensions needed in your layout regardless of the sizes of the images uploaded.
