Hi,
I'm using BigFeature and the frontpage template for my homepage setted as a static page, I've installed Proplayer, but doesn't generate thumbnails in the homepage and the video inside the post works...
No thumbnails for videos

MemberI add the shortcode in the area for the videos under the text area for the post, the shortcode I use is like this: [pro-player]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esEXrQUHqsI&feature=topvideos[/pro-player]
the plugin is activated and I've done all you have explained about the videos, but for the first time, after publishing the post, I have an image like this and the second time I go on the homepage I found only the broken image-icon and the name of the video in the high-left corner of the thumb.Posted 3 years ago # -

adminthe url was wrong (get the right url shown by clicking share), use this shortcode instead:
[pro-player width="640" height="385"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esEXrQUHqsI[/pro-player]and I also recommend to add the width and height (you get this shown by pressing embed), since then it will be re sized proportionally.

adminexternal images and video thumbs are not re sized with timthumb, this means they can be distorted. There are 2 ways around this:
Right click and save the distorted thumb image. Then resize it and upload it with wordpress, and then add the url in the "Thumbnail image URL" field below the editor (you must have the latest version of the theme for this to work (1.3.5.1). here's how to upgrade).
or add a width and height for the thumbnails in the same proportion as the image. Example:
[bfthumbs category="featured" width="255" height="191"]Posted 3 years ago #
