    Hi,
    First of all, thanks for the great plugin! I am using it on a daily basis for a video blog, and I am having issues with the current version. The thumbnail is not found is Dailymotion videos when using some checkboxes from Dailymotion “Export” tab. I tried your debugging panel and ended up with the following conclusions :

    1) Original embed code is OK :
    <iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1qh7p3" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><a href="https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1qh7p3_120-secondes-l-addiction-aux-jeux-sur-smartphone_fun" target="_blank">120 secondes - L’addiction aux jeux sur smartphone</a> <i>par <a href="https://www.dailymotion.com/RTS" target="_blank">RTS</a></i>

    2) When checking Hide Logo and/or Hide infos in the player, embed code is still OK:
    <iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1qh7p3?logo=0&info=0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><a href="https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1qh7p3_120-secondes-l-addiction-aux-jeux-sur-smartphone_fun" target="_blank">120 secondes - L’addiction aux jeux sur smartphone</a> <i>par <a href="https://www.dailymotion.com/RTS" target="_blank">RTS</a></i>

    3) When checking Hide infos in the page, the thumbnail is not found:
    <iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1qh7p3" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    I tried with an embed code from a week ago, which worked at the time (and is still ok), and the difference actually come from Dailymotion, because for some reason it seems that they removed the http prefix a few days ago :
    <iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1ozi1f?logo=0&info=0"></iframe>

    Could it be that with the new shortened embed code (3 above), the absence of http causes your plugin to fail to retrieve the thumbnail? Would you mind fixing this in a next update if my diagnosis is correct?

    Thanks a lot,
