Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Video Thumbnails Reloaded

Video Thumbnails uses high-resolution widescreen thumbnails whenever they are available. If a video is not in HD, a fullscreen thumbnail is used. This can result in letterboxing when the video is actually widescreen. Users of the pro version can select an aspect ratio in the settings if this is a constant problem. More info.
No, Video Thumbnails only uses thumbnails provided by the source. If you're posting videos from your own account, many providers allow you to choose the thumbnail.
No, it 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.
The most likely problem is that your theme doesn't support post thumbnails. If thumbnails are supported, you should see a box titled "Featured Image" on the edit post page. If thumbnails aren't supported, your theme will have to be modified to support Featured Images or to support one of our custom functions.
On the Video Thumbnails settings page just enter the name of the custom field and the plugin will scan it.
Yes, but be sure to include the post ID as a parameter. For example: <?php $thumbnail = get_video_thumbnail(25); ?>
If the service allows a way to retrieve thumbnails, I'll do my best to add it.
The settings page includes a checklist of all your post types so you can pick and choose.
<?php if( ( $video_thumbnail = get_video_thumbnail() ) != null ) { echo ""; } ?> will only display a thumbnail when one exists, but I recommend using the Featured Image setting and the_post_thumbnail template tag.
The best solution is to use the Featured Image setting and the_post_thumbnail template tag. As an alternative you could assign a class to the element and style it with CSS.
