Automatically set featured images from YouTube videos or uploaded media library videos with thumbnail generation.

== Description ==

PlugeThumb allows you to automatically set the featured image of your posts from either:

* A YouTube video URL (auto fetches thumbnail)
* A video file uploaded/selected from the WordPress Media Library (sets poster/thumbnail if available)

No more manual screenshot and upload for youtube videos. This plugin saves you time by attaching the right thumbnail whenever you add a video.
