I encountered this error in the previous release, and was hoping it would be fixed in 3.0, but it is still an issue.
When I try to publish posts that use a YouTube link as the “Featured Video” and auto-pulling of the featured image, I get this error (see image). The Post sometimes still successfully posts, but it is inconsistent. A featured image also fails to auto-pull sometimes.
This happens whether setting the post format as “video” or not. Is this a known issues, and/or is there a fix/workaround?
Hi,
the server configuration doesn’t allow the theme to download the video thumbnails. Are you using a dedicated server or vps? do you have access to php.ini?
if so change in php.ini:
allow_url_fopen=0 to allow_url_fopen=1
If you cannot change the server configuration, I can make a patch to disable the video downloading thumb functionality.

Thanks for the reply. I am on a virtualized server and have located the php.ini file, but it seems to be locked. A fix/patch would be great. Too bad I will have to manually assign a featured image. :/
Hi,
to remove video support:
edit this file and add // http://screencast.com/t/wnQhn1jiiE
I can have a look at your vps if you want but I need ssh access.
