please cover up any nudity in your pictures before you post them, also warn people about NSFW in case someone is at work. 


The embed for xhamster does not always do thumbs from my experience unless they have changed things since i last tested them for a customer.  Also many external sources will eventually block the video from being displayed, so watch your embed videos from those sites closely, they may not be available within a few weeks. 


Also did you add the url to the accepted resources list in admin - content settings. 


If you want to upload your own videos look here

If you do not have ffmpeg then you can still do html5 mp4, webm, ogg, ogv uploads via php.

Nanuky, 

the thumbnail does not appear for xhamster.com because it has gif thumbnail, our software does not support gif format at the moment. 

besides our software support only several popular video resources like youtube. 


To make xhamster thumbnail appear, please make a suggestion on uservoice for us to consider adding it in the nearest future. 


As to the youtube - I just tested it on your website and it grabs thumbnail like it should. See screenshot.

Yeah its for personal videos.  Its not set up for credits or for groups yet. But it is easy to use for members.
