I have upladed several videos from YouTube to my site. However not one thumbnail has been gerenated. Is this the intent? Can you have thumbnails from YouTube?

If you can figure out a programmatic way to retrieve the thumbnail to a video from youtube for me, I'll add it to the code.

Searching this issue brings up many nodes on the matter. I believe CCK Embedded fields can generate them, however I found this to be the most useful

It seems you can grab the thumbnail from you tube in the XML. This would be awesome in views for a grid view.

glen201 CreditAttribution: glen201 commentedOK got it. We have yet to "tackle" cleaning up the youtube part of the module. I've been concerned mostly with the Ffmpeg portion and making fixes there. When I hit Youtube, I'll check into adding this. Realistically, it may not be until we rewrite the thumbnailing part of the module, as the Image module we link to is being "squeezed" by D7 and some adjustment will have to be made. We're thinking of moving this into a CCK field.

netentropy CreditAttribution: netentropy commentedThat would be great and from the posts above I do not think it would be too hard since you are really just taking the thumbnail from youtube.
I understand your time constraints. I used to develop for Joomla. But this is a feature that could attract more people to the module, a you tube movie directory using views to show thumbnails in a grid format would be attractive to many folks
great module, let me know if i can help you in any way

heshanlkWe fixed youtube thumbnail support, so you can now use this module with you tube thumbnails, we are working on to integrate full youtube API with the module, then you can have more features video directly upload to youtube site and modufy/delete it, and rate/comment on youtube videos etc. So all will take time, but if any volunteer I can give instructions.

Comment #9
heshanlkhmm, but for me it works, what is the issue u got? try typing http://sitenem/video and if you still cannot see thumbnails then update the module
Comment #10
netentropy CreditAttribution: netentropy commentedI have updated the module. I have tried both the dev and the current release.
you can see at www.mychemistrytutor.com/video I see no thumbnails
I had thought this would appear in the view field for the thumbnail. It does not.
Comment #11

Starminder CreditAttribution: Starminder commentedI'm having what seems to be the same problem, only adding the developer key didn't resolve it. Anything else I should look at?
Comment #13
heshanlkThere is no relation ship with developer id and thumbnail image, please try changing youtube settings, what is the version your using?
Comment #14
netentropy CreditAttribution: netentropy commentedI had to add the developer id to use the thumbnails also
Comment #15
Starminder CreditAttribution: Starminder commentedI'm on 2.8, what settings should I change? Thanks!
Comment #16
heshanlkplease see the youtube video configurations
Comment #17
Starminder CreditAttribution: Starminder commentedThanks, the config was already done. Added a new node and went back and checked the view. I have it displaying titles but it still won't display the corresponding thumbnail.
