If proplayer is enabled it will be used instead, and I don't know the status of proplayer right now. It has been a bit unstable lately. If you deactivate proplayer the thumb should be fetched automatically. If you are not using proplayer, then it is probably the way you add videos. I recommend to add the iframe embed code to the video field. Like this one for the video you linked to above:</p> <p><code>&lt;iframe width="960" height="720" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QZNxbzEwB5k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</code></p> <p>Urls like this, also work:<br /> <a href="http://youtu.be/QZNxbzEwB5k" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/QZNxbzEwB5k</a><br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZNxbzEwB5k" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZNxbzEwB5k</a> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/no-thumbnails-with-video#post-8157 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:04:28 +0000 Beattitudes56 8157@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Just wanted to say thanks for the code snippet the fix worked fine!

The old embed code never retrieved video preview images, but the new iframe does. You could use proplayer with it's shortcode or url, then you would automatically get the video images, but never with the embed code. In version 1.4.1.1 I rewrote the video image fetching so that proplayer is not needed anymore (for youtube and vimeo iframe embed code or url added to the video field). The old embed code will still not get any video image though. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/no-thumbnails-with-video#post-8131 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:29:07 +0000 Beattitudes56 8131@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>The way I have been adding the video is to include the long form link from youtube and paste it into the video field on the post page.

I use Big Feature often, so will need to do this across the board. I tried replacing the timthumb.php file with the new one provided by the creator (as suggested by Woo Themes in that article linked above), but it didn't work - the images were no longer showing. So, I have reverted for the time being, but need to get this updated as soon as I can.</p> <p>Is there something specific I should be doing to update this for Big Feature? </p> <p>Really appreciate your time.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Pia </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/thumbnails-and-videos-not-appearing#post-6954 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 10:07:59 +0000 vfxdude 6954@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>there's an "internal server error" when running the <a href="http://epfitfight.com/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php">timthumb script</a>. This can be caused by server security restrictions. I have seen this some times before, and then it was wrong file rights. Did you check the timthumb troubleshooting at the bottom of <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/07/setting-up-the-theme/">this article</a>? Make sure the cache folder is there and that it's writeable (setting it 777 can sometimes cause such problems). Also check the webserver log to see if there's any errors listed there (it's usually in the root of the webhosting account). </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/thumbnails-and-videos-not-appearing#post-6920 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 21:01:51 +0000 Ronnie 6920@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.epfitfight.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.epfitfight.com</a></p> <p>The thumbs, both pictures and videos on older posts are not showing.

It helps to resize the orginal image, because big images take much memory when resized, but getting the cache to work is important. Check the webserver log for warnings and error messages. Maybe it's blocked by some security setup, or could be that the folders don't have the right file rights. </p> <p>You can uncomment the error reporting in top of timthumb.php to see if there's any errors outputted there.

However, this is what I want to do. On the static frontpage you have this shortcode [ bfthumbs category="portfolio" numposts="3" ] which pulls the thumnail images from the category of your blog. Instead of thumbnails from categories of the blog spread three across, I would like to add images of the individual blog contributors instead and when each person posts a blog it's title shows up with the assigned thumbnual image. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/blog-thumbnails#post-6160 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 09:26:30 +0000 vfxdude 6160@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I don't know what you are talking about. a screenshot with annotations makes it easier to understand. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/blog-thumbnails#post-6147 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 21:28:41 +0000 devanslive 6147@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I am working on a site <a href="http://www.dionevanslive.com/ojb" rel="nofollow">http://www.dionevanslive.com/ojb</a> and there is a section that says blog topics at the bottom. I know the bfthumbs code, but it only pulls from one category. I want to be able to have a categories show up side by side and an associated image with the category it pulls. I also do not want that thumbnail to be 255 x 100 as the others are, I want it to be 100 x 100 for each 6 thumbnails side by side.
