Great plugin! Been using it for a while. One question, do you plan on supporting the new Youtube iframe embed codes?

Hi Oren,
its a great plugins. Thanks to make it free

For somebody that want a more high quality of thumbnail, you can change the “default.jpg” inti “hqdefault.jpg”
ex : $img=”http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/{$match[1]}/hqdefault.jpg”;

maybe this simple methods could help anyone.

One think that i want to ask to you Oren, and i think this idea will helps the others to
How to create one more custom fields with the youtube ID as the value?

youtube url : http://www.youtube.com/v/WLd77Zk7QyM

value : WLd77Zk7QyM

could you help?

Is there a way for this to set the thumbnail as the featured image automatically? I think that would be really helpful. What I would really love is for it to set the image as the one Facebook picks up as its thumbnail when you share a link. You can hardcode that image for FB using meta tags but I believe it will pick it up as long as its the “featured image” in WP. I could be wrong on that though.

Any thoughts?

just to Echo Josh, is there a way to pass both of these:

if (preg_match(‘#http://www\.youtube\.com/watch\?v\=([^&"\' ]*)\[\/youtube]#

and

if (preg_match(‘#http://www\.youtube\.com/v/([^&"\' ]*)#

Sorry, not so familiar with php.

My WordPress theme utilizes timthumb to resize and display the images. I changed the $match code to the high-res version and changed the YouTube param to the new \?v. I also needed to create a temp folder with 777 permissions where the timthumb plugin exists. A quick tweak to have my theme prioritize the custom field over other thumbnails, and this plug-in solved a major issue for me. Thanks so much!!
