Hi I'm using wordpress 3.0.1 as a CMS for a video site. I need you to do 2 things:
1) I'm using this plugin called the youtube thumbnailer (WordPress › Youtube Thumbnailer « WordPress Plugins) to get the thumbnail youtube provides and post it as the thumbnail on my homepage using the custom field "thumbnail". Since youtube provides a thumbnail that is too small, I need for the thumbnail to be resized to 192 px width and 120 px height.
2) To post my videos I use the flash video plugin (http://www.mac-dev.net/blog/) which allows me to embed youtube videos using a short tag. For example, this
[flashvideo file=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RXzHgFpNUU /]
The problem is the youtube thumbnailer plugin only works when you put the youtube embed code into a post. For example,
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1RXzHgFpNUU?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1RXzHgFpNUU?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
What you need to do is modify the youtube thumbnailer plugin to recognize the short tag that the flash video plugin allows. For example,
[flashvideo file=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RXzHgFpNUU /]
