All I had to do is on the Video Thumbnails Plugin settings page, where it says “Custom Field (Optional: If your video is stored in a custom field, enter the name of that field here. Otherwise, leave this field blank.)” just enter ‘_tern_wp_youtube_video’ (without the ‘s) there. That’s where the Youtube posts plugin stores the video thumbs. Works on my site and I have over 700 videos. Sometimes the auto thumbnail plugin takes a while to “find” the new videos and assign the thumbs though.

There is a plugin called “Automatic YouTube Posts” that works pretty well. I used that and made my video category display as a gallery. I also have a random video show up on the main page every time the page loads.

Video Gallery

Random Video Display (in sidebar)

In order to do this you have to make use of the video thumbnails. Basically, I created the gallery by just making the video thumbnails be posted into a <div> in a loop. I can copy the exact code I wrote to do this, but I just wanted to let you know that it is possible.
