    Hello,

    I'm working on a wordpress site with a tube theme and I am planning on using embedded videos. Is there a way to automatically display the thumnail and video duration of the embedded video as it appears on the original tube site? Or do I have to manually insert this information?

    Thanks

    It depends on where you are getting the videos and what information that service makes available. They do not all operate the same way.

    the videos were adult videos. I tried several different sites but I was unable to display a thumbnail and the video duration. I was about to give up when I came across a few sites that have done exactly what I was trying to do.
