I think this would be more complicated than it sounds. Unfortunately a lot of the fundamental processes of the plugin rely on the naming structure rather than metadata because when I started writing this plugin in 2010 I didn’t use the database to keep track of the additional encoded files. So changing the name of the original file to test-720.mp4 will send the plugin off looking for test-720-360.mp4 and test-720-custom.mp4. Are you using the plugin for playback on the front end or just for encoding videos?

That’s why I asked if you were using the plugin for playback on the frontend. It’s a much simpler issue now that I know you’re not. I know you don’t want to touch the 360 and custom files, but my plugin’s video player would have been confused if you changed the name of the original file.

Will the original video file always be 720?

Right, but will you ever be in a situation where your original video file is 1080 or 360 or 2160 or something other than 720?

I think this will accomplish what you need. I’m not sure of the consequences for other functions in the plugin. On line 7837 in video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php, find this code

$new_filename = str_replace("-fullres", "", $encoded_filename);

What that does is replace “-fullres” with nothing. If you just want to keep the “-fullres” in the file name, change it to

$new_filename = $encoded_filename;

Or if you want to change it to “-720” or any other arbitrary text

$new_filename = str_replace("-fullres", "-720", $encoded_filename);

Oh, I see. That part of the code only applies when you’re changing formats (from webm to mp4 for example).

Try this instead. Line 7854

$new_filename = $original_filename;

Change to

$new_filename = $encoded_filename;

And change the next line

$new_url = $video_encode_queue[$video_key]['movieurl'];

to

$new_url = str_replace('.mp4', '-fullres.mp4', $video_encode_queue[$video_key]['movieurl']);

I think if you rearrange the sections of the $video_formats array that should sort things out.

Right before line 521

if ( !$return_replace && $options['replace_format'] != 'fullres' ) { unset($video_formats[$options['replace_format']]); }

Add this

$new_video_format_keys_order = array(
    '1080', 
    '720', 
    'mobile', 
    'custom_h264', 
    'webm', 
    'vp9', 
    'ogg', 
    'fullres'
);
foreach ($new_video_format_keys_order as $key) {
    $new_video_formats[$key] = $video_formats[$key];
}
$video_formats = $new_video_formats;

Yes, please be patient. I wrote those free customizations for you without testing them and I need to find some spare time to test and debug them.
