 * Hi,
 * While running a few tests on the site using Google’s Structured Data Testing 
   Tool ([https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool](https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool))
   I encountered an error regarding this plugin:
 * ERROR!
    VideoObject thumbnailUrl “A value for the thumbnailUrl field is required.
 * My site is displaying all the thumbnail images with no issues, and this error
   is only showing on pages on the site where this plugin is been used.
 * <div id=”video_kgvid_0_div” class=”fitvidsignore kgvid_videodiv” data-id=”kgvid_0″
   data-kgvid_video_vars=”{"id":"kgvid_0","attachment_id":0,"player_type":"Video.
   js","width":"100%","height":375,"fullwidth":"true","countable":false,"count_views":"

   itemprop=”embedUrl” content=”[https://01897uiop.cloudfront.net/videofile.mp4&#8243](https://01897uiop.cloudfront.net/videofile.mp4&#8243);/
   ><meta itemprop=”contentUrl” content=”[https://01897uiop.cloudfront.net/videofile.mp4&#8243](https://01897uiop.cloudfront.net/videofile.mp4&#8243);/
   ><meta itemprop=”name” content=”A video about koalas” /><meta itemprop=”description”

   itemprop=”uploadDate” content=”2018-01-20T00:47:36+00:00″ />
 * Again, the site is operating with no issues but I am just making sure that I 
   am running clean code on my end.
 * Thanks again for making this great plugin.

 * Can you post the url for the page this is from and the shortcode you’re using
   to generate the video?

 * There’s no video thumbnail/poster on the link you provided, so it’s not possible
   to generate a thumbnailUrl. If you have thumbnails for your videos, the plugin
   will generate the thumbnailUrl metadata.
