 * Why is encoding failing and could I do something about it? Why do you need the
   email? Is the queue halting and you need to know to restart it or do you just
   need notification so you don’t forget that it failed?

 * Many people will use our plattform and if there is an error at media handling
   because of wrong format of the file name etc. it would be great to know when 
   an encoding error occurs.
    The best way would be to get everytime a mail, when
   a error is thrown by your plugin: file could not be found for encoding, queue
   problem.

 * I [added this option](https://github.com/kylegilman/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/issues/289)
   to the development version on GitHub and it will be in the next release.
