Unfortunately grabbers API does not support multiple screenshots. Why you need this? We can update API, but long time to wait for this.

I am trying to embed videos from XV

Sometimes the thumbnails which come by default don't resemble the video itself, are blurry, or display some site name. Especially when doing it with models or niche sites like blondes where the thumbnail does not depict any blondes.

If I was able to choose a thumbnail from the set of the available screenshots, I could distinguish it from other sites using the same default thumbs. This is better from SEO point of view as well.

I shall be highly thankful to ya if you release the API lil sooner.

Thanks!

Good news, after looking into the code, it turns out that you can specify multiple screenshots by separating them using comma, e.g.:

$result->set_screenshot('http://domain.com/image1.jpg, http://domain.com/image2.jpg');

This was not done intentionally, but it might work. Please try that.

Our local test shows that this is working. It could be that your grabber doesn't provide the data, or you didn't update the grabber in KVS (for it to be updated the new grabber version should be incremented).
