Self Hosted video thumbnails removed from SERPs??!

    After G removed the authorship photos from the results I feared that the video thumbnails would be next.

    I spent months with a client to get all their videos converted to mp4s, hosted on their site, and getting the thumbnails indexed on their landing pages... the client spent a lot of money with their video guy doing this too

    Just noticed today that only youtube videos are showing the thumbnails. If you do a video search the thumbnails still are showing however.

    Anyone else getting the same?

    When Google shows us cool things to do with schemas and rich data I try to implement them in my sites... only for them to remove it later on down the road?

    Starting to get sick of this seo BS... might just drop it and go developer full time :(
