 * If you could describe the situation more exactly, it would help in identifying
   the possible problem. Does your problem occur with the newest plugin version,
   1.8.1?

 * I have same problem.. “Couldn’t find a video thumbnail for this post.”
    I am 
   using latest version of WP, Viper’s Video Quicktags. On my other site, these 
   two works perfect, but now, it simply doesnt seem to FIND video in post.. I have
   tried metacafe, vimeo, youtube,.. its all same.
 * Any idea?

 * Did that start happening after an update in Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin? If,
   perhaps there was a change in the plugin that Video Thumbnails needs to reflect
   in order to keep working together with it.

 * Hello again, and thanks for fast answer.
    No, there was no change in versions
   of plugins, i “just” transfered website form localhost online to VPS. Everything
   else seems to be working fine, so was “Video thumbnails” plugin on localhost.
   I keep “scanning” for videos in posts, but no success. I made about 10 posts,
   form different video websites.. and cant figure out why plugin doesnt see videos…

 * We previously ran into a case where a user had VPS behind a firewall that blocked
   the outbound connection to Vimeo API. We then added extra information to the 
   error message to help narrow it down.
 * What’s the complete error message you’re getting?

 * While writing/editing post, in VideoThumbnails sidebar error “We didn’t find 
   a video thumbnail for this post. ” .. refresh doesnt help. No featured image.
   
   In VideoThumbanils settings, where I try to scan older published posts, I get
   error “(x) Couldn’t find a video thumbnail for this post. “
 * Is there maybe some debugging mode, so I can “dig deeper”?

 * There’s no debugging mode the last I remember. There’s a beta version of the 
   new 2.0 though, you can ask for the plugin admin to send you a copy: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-thumbnails-20-beta](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-thumbnails-20-beta)

 * Have you tried uploading any images to your VPS through WordPress? If it’s a 
   fresh WordPress install you may need to set permissions.

 * [@daedalon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daedalon/): Not sure i am going
   to use beta, if authoh himself did not make it public. Thanks anyway..
 * [@boswell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boswell/): Yes, my wordpress site
   works fine, tested completely, and did not run on any other problem except this..
   I also thought it has something to do with permissions, but not sure where to
   look. Database? I believe its not directory permissions what makes problem, because
   this plugin searches database?

 * You can sign up to be a part of the beta [here](http://wpvideothumbnails.com/#beta).
   There are a lot of fixes and improvements to be included in the beta, but because
   a lot of the changes are pretty major I’d like to know it works with a group 
   willing to try it out before accidentally breaking it for everyone.
 * Here’s info on the [WordPress file permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions).
 * The next beta version will have a debug feature that checks the discovery part
   of the process and the saving part separately to help find exactly where the 
   problem lies.
