Sorry for your bad experience, but as stated in the FAQ the plugin cannot support all themes out of the box:

Why does the frontend still display the featured image although I added a featured video to the post?
Sadly not all themes work out of the box. Themes need to make use of WordPress’ native Post Thumbnail functionality (specifically get_the_post_thumbnail() and/or the_post_thumbnail()) – these functions are where the plugin can hook into the theme and modify what is displayed. Consider contacting the theme’s creator or modifying the theme’s sourcecode in order to add the plugin’s PHP-functions.

Please try one of the official WordPress themes like Twenty Sixteen or simillar and if the plugin still does not work provide more details so I can look into it. As you see in other reviews, the plugin generally seems to work well.

Can you provide the link you are using? Works fine for me.

Should be fixed in 2.3.3. Sorry about that!

The video needs to be available through the YouTube API because thats where the plugin gets the thumbnails and other details from. So I cannot really do anything about that. Sorry

The meta field ist _fvp_video. It needs to be a serialized PHP associative array with at least the provider, full and valid keys.

update_post_meta( $post_id, '_fvp_video', array(
    "provider" => "youtube",
    "full" => "https://youtu.be/YOUTUBEID",
    "valid" => "true",
) );

This will not automatically result in the video thumbnail being fetched tho. You could also send requests to admin-ajax.php using a valid loggedin user and _fvp_nonce. Check the network tab of your browsers console while adding a video through the featured video meta box on the post edit screen to see how the requests look.

Hope it works,
Alex

Thats what the is_signular option does! Seems like it works on your page?

Probably the theme is incompatible, sorry about that..

Play button should be visible on mouse-over, isn’t it? No idea why if not, which theme are you using?

Seems to work fine now? What did you change?

Pass $size as an array: the_post_video( $size )
For example: the_post_video( array( 'width' => 480, 'height' => 320 ) )

Do normal youtube embeds inside the post work? Might be that the server blocks oembed requests.

Autoplay on hover does not really seem very useful for mobile devices. What do you mean how much? Will look into it.

Can you please provide more details? What theme are you using, is it a YouTube or a local video… The more the better.

What link from amazon s3? Need more details.
