No thumbnail images for videos | Forum

The thumbnail images have stopped displaying for videos embedded from youtube. The first few videos that i embedded display the image, but any recent videos do not display.

Strange i will try this as well with a few to see if this happens as well..   But just curious have you made some updates or added any plugins lately that might be conflicting with the video plugin.   Have you tried to clear your cache by either using the extreme cache plugin or changing your dev mode to true, then hit F5 and see if it refreshes those images. 

 

Just a thought maybe Aliia or one of the other team members has something as well.

it seems that the problem is due to my site running SSL and https. I have removed the https and the the thumbnail images are appearing again.

I think I need to scrap the idea of using https on oxwall site, there are just too many issues.

Yeah sounds logical, yes i agree. I did not put SSL on mine but just from what i have read about doing so seems to still need a bit of work.    

 

I gave up on the FB connect right after i tried to use it, seems to me to be way too much involved to do such a simple task, SSL, creating an application and all that jazz.   Maybe its not the plugin maybe its FB and their enivitable way of being a royal pain in the A__...     For me the feature benefit did not outweigh the work involved.

 

It seems that people are adding SSL maybe for the wrong reasons, not saying you are but some are adding it just for the FB Connection option.  I remember a while back reading something in the FB API about a sign in option that you dont need a plugin you just post their code.  Maybe im wrong but it does seem i saw that someplace.

 

Also just a bit of info here for those that do not know this.  You have to have a very good reason to get a ded ip now days, SSL is one reason but im sure if they find out people are getting SSL just for one feature they may crack down even harder.  Even with IPv6 you cant get a ded ip without a very good reason.
