Some members on my site are using vimeo over youtube because of the image quality and soundtrack options.
The problem with vimeo is that videos won't process right away, sometimes they take half an hour or more to finish processing.
If the user embeds the video before it has finished processing it will use a default thumbnail, see attached.

Would it be possible to detect if a Vimeo has finished processing and if not set a flag and then run a cron job to pull update the thumbnail an hour or two later?

An alternative would be to have the user edit and save the node again to request a new thumbnail.
Currently, when you update the node (even when you change the video URL and then change it back) it won't update the thumbnail.
Would that be possible to do?

Hey,
Sorry for the excessive delay, I've been swamped lately at work.

I basically made it so resaving the video will refresh the thumbnail, so once the thumbnail is loaded, if you go resave your node (make sure to clear out image cache stuff too) you should get the proper thumbnail.
