Any chance in the mean time you could post/share an older copy we could divert back to for temporary quick fix? Great explanation BTW of the issue!
[update] issue solved:
Found versions. https://github.com/justintadlock/get-the-image/releases
Fubar on http://sevenspark.com UBERMENU @codecanyon if Nextgen 2.0 activated. Clears up with deactivation. I’m rolling back to 1.9 to test now. Will post link to site if this fails, but have tried on two of my sites and repeats itself.
Try video viper plugin for an easy to use interface.
Get this when trying to get to settings: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. in 2.8.1. –or it takes me to 404 page.
No luck, may have to bail on this otherwise nice plugin.
