Hey!
I'm an uploader who orientates himself on good amount of quality and quantity videos;
Though I'm a bit confused about thumbnail uploading - -I've been trying to find an automated way to add thumbnails to videos uploaded on videohosts, though I must say I've failed to do so - Thumbnails integrated in file videos as metadata - won't be recognized by videohosts; And Hardcoding thumbnails into video files simply does too long - same as manually uploading thumbnails across every videohost that I use.

Is there any other idea ? What do you do , or what would you do, Wjunction fellows?

If there is custom field available for thumbnail url, then make a THUMB of video file and upload a single file on external image hosting site like imgur, imgbb and use that direct link of it.

Though if you have around 100 videos, Imgur or ImgBB don't offer (as far as I know) link recognition by File Titles, therefore, you can't also attach the respective thumbnail (with FileName) to videoFile (with the same FileName as thumbnail) as you have only direct links on image hosts but nothing else that identifies them. :zipper_mouth:
