In reply to: [Foursquare Venue] Problem with Show Mayor data.Can you share the venue ID? It may be a problem with that specific venue.
It should work fine with full URLs in the custom field. Which video service are URLs not working with? If you are only using IDs in the custom field, the pro version has a feature where you can specify custom fields for YouTube ID, Vimeo ID, etc.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Does this work with the Sahifa theme?Video Thumbnails will only fetch thumbnails for videos from the list of supported sites. Decoding local video files to create thumbnails would require server resources and packages unavailable to most users, so we only focus on supporting major video sites.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Video Thumbnails Google DriveI’m checking this out and it seems the API is returning an error for that file. I’ll be releasing an update that will provide a better error message to help diagnose the problem.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Error Details: name lookup timed outUnfortunately I am not an expert on cURL, but I have written a guide to extending timeout length.
Video Thumbnails uses the WordPress HTTP API, so a plugin like Core Control may be able to help you find the transport method that works best for you.
Unfortunately every theme is coded differently, so there’s no guaranteed way video thumbnails will be displayed as featured images without modifying your theme. Please see the installation notes and FAQ for information on the
get_video_thumbnail()function that can be used to display the video thumbnail.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Frontend Posts Do Not Generate Video ThumbnailsThe problem people have with finding thumbnails for posts published from the front end is that the post gets created before the video data is saved. Video thumbnails needs a way of knowing the custom field has been updated, which is why the solutions you’ve tried exist. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the plugin you’re using, so I can’t give an exact answer. Could you ask the developer if they have any custom action hooks Video Thumbnails could tie into for when the custom data is saved?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Video Thumbnail will show up after post is publishedWas able to help resolve the issue over on our support site but the solution may apply to free users as well. Make sure if you are posting the video anywhere other than the normal content editor that you have entered the name of the custom field on the settings page.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] PowerpressUnfortunately the plugin is only compatible with videos hosted on one of the listed sites. Decoding local video files to create thumbnails requires server resources and specific packages unavailable on most standard hosting plans.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] saving the picture to my serverThe settings has a feature that disables saving the image to the media library, but that currently requires modifications to your theme. The installation and FAQ sections have some information on functions to use inside your theme if that is something you are comfortable doing.
From your experience and this other thread I would guess that the issue is on Facebook’s end since you can confirm the tag is in the source code. Have you tried contacting them?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Edit Post causes a recursive error of some sortI cannot manage to recreate the problem while using Suffusion, but in your screenshot it looks like there’s something else where going on with the editor showing multiple toolbars. Can you confirm that neither of these are happening when only Suffusion is enabled and Video Thumbnails is not?
