If the video is not in the regular text section, you’ll need to set the custom field’s name on the settings page.

The image from the OEmbed API seems to usually have a size appended to the URL like .../1234_1280.jpg and if you just drop the _xxxx part it should give the largest version available. I’m planning for the next version to do this, but you can try it yourself by finding the line

$result = $result->thumbnail_url;

and replace with

$result = preg_replace("#_[0-9]+\.jpg#", '.jpg', $result->thumbnail_url);

If you leave out one of the keys, the plugin will fall back to using OEmbed instead of the API, which means private videos won’t be accessible. I’ve written a beta version that supports OAuth2, however it may break on older versions of PHP. If you don’t mind testing it out it would be greatly appreciated.

Oops, I should have been more specific, those tabs are on the Vimeo developer page.

Hi! There should be tabs at the top of the page with “Basic”, “OAuth”, and “OAuth2”. If you select “OAuth” there should be all the keys you need.

I recommend using featured images rather than the video thumbnail function.

I’m preparing version 3.0 for release and these functions are likely being removed. Do you have save to media library enabled?

That’s odd, typically I’d expect it to be at least 1280px wide like below.

I’m taking a look into this to make sure it always finds the largest available.

As for selecting image resolutions, I’ve written Video Thumbnails with the goal of always fetching the largest available resolution (I get feedback that images are both too small – and too big) instead of being able to select specific sizes. If you never need the images to be above a certain size, the pro version has a option that will downsize the image to your max dimensions.

You’re very welcome! Appreciate the kind words.
