Try opening the plugin and replacing this section on line 408:

if (in_array($post_type, $video_thumbnails_post_types) OR $post_type == $video_thumbnails_post_types) {

with this:

if (in_array($post_type, (array) $video_thumbnails_post_types)
    || $post_type == $video_thumbnails_post_types) {

Let me know if this fixes your problem and I’ll include it in the next update!

I just contacted them about API access, so it might be possible to add support.

mrmclen,

I think you’re on the right track, but if the plugin only stores the YouTube ID in the custom field, it doesn’t realize it’s a YouTube ID. It should be easy to fix this though by changing the line that sets $markup to a value that includes the rest of the URL. Just replace this one line in your current changes:

$markup = 'http://youtube.com/watch?v=' . get_post_meta($post_id, $video_key, true);

Let me know if it works!

This is happening because the thumbnail URL is saved as a custom field with the post. When deleting the images from the media library, the custom field information is left behind. When scanning past posts, it’s seeing that the custom field already has a URL.

Here’s what you should try. Open the plugin with the editor and look for this section:

function video_thumbnails_past_callback() {
	global $wpdb; // this is how you get access to the database

	$post_id = $_POST['post_id'];

	echo get_the_title($post_id) . ' - ';

	if ( ($video_thumbnail=get_video_thumbnail($post_id)) != null ) {
		echo '<span style="color:green">✔</span> Success!';
	} else {
		echo '<span style="color:red">✖</span> Couldn\'t find a video thumbnail for this post.';
	}

	die();
}

Now replace it with the code below, which adds in the delete_post_meta line:

function video_thumbnails_past_callback() {
	global $wpdb; // this is how you get access to the database

	$post_id = $_POST['post_id'];

	echo get_the_title($post_id) . ' - ';

	delete_post_meta($post_id, '_video_thumbnail');

	if ( ($video_thumbnail=get_video_thumbnail($post_id)) != null ) {
		echo '<span style="color:green">✔</span> Success!';
	} else {
		echo '<span style="color:red">✖</span> Couldn\'t find a video thumbnail for this post.';
	}

	die();
}

This should clear out the custom field before searching. Remove the line once you’re done so that if you ever need to scan old posts again you won’t be doubling images.

Included this in 1.7.4, thanks again!

My guess is that there’s a conflict with another plugin, can you provide a list of the plugins being used?

As a premium theme, I can’t test Genesis myself, but the first thing I would do is try temporarily switching to a different theme and seeing if the problem still exists. My first guess is that something else is going on, but I’m not familiar with Genesis.
