In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Facebook thumbs doesn't work (already tried Debugging)I just tested with your URL (http://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=10152483813089662) in a custom field and everything worked fine. The question mark image comes from Facebook when it can’t find a thumbnail for a specific upload. Are you getting the question mark on the same video?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Facebook thumbs doesn't work (already tried Debugging)Are you using a plugin to embed Facebook? I just tested with just that URL and it worked fine, but WordPress doesn’t embed it by default so I assume there’s another plugin involved.

In reply to: [WP YouTube Lyte] Why isn't the shortcode registered for admin pages?The
add_shortcode()function adds very little overhead (you can see for yourself here), and the only aspect of the site you would theoretically save performance on is the admin section where visitors and search engines won’t be making any judgements on load times.Loading your options.php conditionally might have a tiny impact on performance (although I doubt it), so you might want to leave it in the
if ( is_admin() )statement but move the contents of theelsesection so they always get called.Keeping all these functions out of the admin section not only affects my plugin, but it will affect any admin-side tools trying to do analysis of a post’s content.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Problem with [lyte]-Embed-CodeYeah, I’ll post any updates. If you want a temporary fix, you can use their httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SQkWbRublY link format (notice the “v” added to http) and it should have no problems detecting it.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Problem with [lyte]-Embed-CodeIt looks like the developer of WP YouTube Lyte has the shortcode only enabled on non-admin pages, which means Video Thumbnails is unable to detect it. I’ve requested he make a change in this thread.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] support for livestreamAre you interested in thumbnails for archived streams, or for streams that are currently broadcasting?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Thumbnail for VimeoThe API key for Vimeo is entirely optional in Video Thumbnails.
If no API key is entered, the oEmbed API is used (ex: http://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=http%3A//vimeo.com/79702288) which actually gets an even bigger image.
An API key is only needed for users uploading private videos, because those videos are not available using any public API. So when an API key is entered, the standard REST API is used with that key.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Hulu Embed codeLike I said, I’d like to add Hulu but it isn’t possible using the same technique being used for all the other sites. The only workaround I think might be possible would only work with videos embedded certain ways.
Are you using oEmbed, a shortcode plugin, or just copying and pasting the embed code directly?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Avada themeVideo Thumbnails only sets the featured image, so where it gets displayed is a question for the theme developer.
If you’re interested in importing videos, Video Importer is my separate plugin for that. Because these forums are only intended for free plugins, any pre-sale questions should be directed to sales@refactored.co.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Avada themeI can’t say for sure, but it should be easy to test it out. If it doesn’t work, go to the Video Thumbnails settings and click the “Automatically Detect” button for the custom field option.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Please support 'tudou.com'2.9 now supports Tudou, but you will need to register an app at open.tudou.com for free and then enter your App Key in the Provider tab of the Video Thumbnails settings.
A properly coded theme will use set_post_thumbnail_size() and add_image_size() to define the image sizes used in the layout, and WordPress will create resized versions with those dimensions and therefore smaller file sizes. A good theme should not load full-sized featured images and rescale them.
There is also an option in the Pro version to specify the maximum image dimensions to download to your server, which is mainly a way to conserve disk space since themes should already only be loading the necessary image size created by WordPress.
