Wordpress PHP for Video Thumbnails

I have a basic blog style site with recent posts listed on the homepage. The problem I was having is videos would not show up on the homepage because you can't assign a video as a featured image. I did not want to use thumbnail images for videos. I want users to be able to play videos without clicking through to the post. So I found some code that has done an good job of doing just that. If a video is embed in a post it will automatically post the video where the featured image would usually be. But now I have ran into 2 problems with the code... 1) If I have more than one video embed in a post it will not show any video and only show the post title on homepage. 2) If I try to add a featured image as a thumbnail of the video for my "recent posts", the code will show the featured image above the video. I need to be able to assign a featured image in the post that will show as post thumbnail only on "recent posts" section. I don't want the thumbnail to show above the video on the homepage or above the video within the post. Then secondly I need the code to allow more than one video in a post and make it select the first video in the post as the video that gets displayed on the homepage. Here is the code from my features.php. /** Add Video Homepage */ function catch_video() { global $post, $posts; $first_vid = ''; ob_start(); ob_end_clean(); $output = preg_match_all('/<iframe.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches); $first_vid = $matches [1] [0]; if ($output == '1') { echo '<iframe width="630" height="350" src="'; echo $first_vid; echo '" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>'; } } And here is the code I place in the loop for my posts. <?php echo catch_video() ?> Project Details: Wordpress version 3.4.1 WPZOOM Morning Theme Total Budget $38 Project to be completed in 2 days
