Embedded Videos - Thumbnail is Blank Screen

Put the site into debug mode, then go to the admincp, and under 'rebui'd there will be an option, 'Rebuild Video Thumbnails". Run that. Than clear system cache.
Debug mode instructions:
Debug mode is useful for development purposes- it is required if you will be creating VB5 Modifications you intend to distribute for others to download. However it is also useful for trouble-shooting issues with your site as debug mode often provides more specific error messages when something goes wrong- as such if you areMARK.B

The only time I have run into similar issues is when posting newly uploaded youtube videos that haven't yet time to capture the thumbnail preview. Curious whether there is any difference between using a long string url and short url from Youtube on Vbulletin?
I use an auto embed mod for Vbulletin and haven't the problems you have with the exception of sometimes fresh youtube uploads.Comment

I saw this in earlier versions of vB5 but only on certain forum set ups.
There isn't, as far as I know, any known solution to it.
Have they always done this while you have been on vB5t, or is it only since an upgrade?MARK.B

Which auto embed mod are you using?Comment

The short answer is, we don't know what is causing it. As I mentioned, it was a known issue on some earlier versions of vB5, but only on certain setups. I haven't seen it reported for a long time, because a change was put in place in the software.
If you've done the rebuild video bbcodes and it's a default style with no edited templates, I'm at a loss to suggest much more at this level.
If you send us a support ticket with admincp and ftp access, we can have a look at your setup and see if we can find out what's doing it.MARK.B

After our most recent upgrade, our site is now doing the same thing. All video thumbnails are blank. Here are two sample links:
I may be known on this forum as an "RC Airplane" guy, but I prefer to think of myself as an "RC Everything" guy. It shouldn't be any surprise that I yearn for an RC dirigible as much as I want an RC Horten, RC Centurion, or RC Gato. Now that we've revealed our expansion into the Tank segment of this RC
I tried the debug > rebuild video BB but that did not solve the issue. I changed to the default style and the thumbnail is still blank.
Are others experiencing this, how do we solve?Last edited by mark.hs; Mon 23 Dec '19, 8:43am.Admin for hobbysquawk.com
