Meta Key Allowed?

I know we have the filter found on line 113 over at https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/automatic-featured-images-from-videos/tags/1.1.2/automatic-featured-images-from-videos.php#L110 that allows for changing the blob of content to search a video for.

 // Allow developers to filter the content to allow for searching in postmeta or other places.
$content = apply_filters( 'wds_featured_images_from_video_filter_content', $content, $post_id );

Basically you’d want to just do something like this:

function mimicmusic_afifv_meta_search( $content, $post_id ) {
    // Fetch and retrieve our meta, return if the field isn't empty.
    $meta = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'my_field', true );
    if ( ! empty( $meta ) ) {
        return $meta;
    }
    // If we had no value, just return the original.
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'wds_featured_images_from_video_filter_content', 'mimicmusic_afifv_meta_search', 10, 2 );

Grab any post meta you have, return that and it’ll be searched for the URL, otherwise the post content will be instead.
