buggy and strange workflow
by mbergann·6 years ago·1 reply

but there is a stange workflow: for every video you want to use, you need to define a video-banner – also if you want to use the default-preview-image from youtube…
So I used for all videos the header-image of my blog…
but when I tried to add different videos with different titles and descriptions, the different videos were no problem but the title/desc was always for all videos that one from the last video… so this makes the plugin completely useless for me :-/
