Thumbnails are not generated was created by Sebas Nannings

The thumbnails and previews for the uploaded youtube movies aren't generated automaticly. Instead i get a strange grey image.

What am i doing wrong?

Dear Sebas,

1. Go to Components - All Video Share - Videos and Edit the previously added YouTube Videos

2. Clear the Video field and add the YouTube Page URL. Example :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXX
Note : Don't use short URL from YouTube like,
http://youtu.be/XXXXXXXX
3. Clear both the Preview and Thumb fields.

4. Save the form. That's it !!!
