    As i read previous problems i did reinstalled curl and it didnt help. but i realize that i can get image if curl is removed, but it takes ages. It is loading for long time.

    So any ideas how to fix this? I have VPS server and not many sites on it, so connection should not be problem, also i have acess to modify everything.

    my curl info:

    Unfortunately I am not an expert on cURL, but I have written a guide to extending timeout length.

    Video Thumbnails uses the WordPress HTTP API, so a plugin like Core Control may be able to help you find the transport method that works best for you.

    But a week ago this plugin was working like a charm, is there a way to test older version?

    I did try core control but no help…
    I even reinstalled curl.

    I could try to increase time request but i have hard time finiding out how to set up this.

    I see u updated plugin, thanks.

    I see it works now, it search for thumbnail like 10-15 seconds but it finds it.

    Well that didn’t fix it for long time, but now i have found solution.

    You need to uzpdate a file \etc\resolv.conf

    And add google nameservers

    I had
    nameserver 8.8.8.8
    nameserver 4.2.2.2
    nameserver 127.0.0.1

    And all i did is add
    nameserver 8.8.4.4 at top, so now i have:

    nameserver 8.8.4.4
    nameserver 8.8.8.8
    nameserver 4.2.2.2
    nameserver 127.0.0.1

    If someone else have problems, direct them to this post.
