Hi,

I have set up my new Drupal 7 website pretty much in the way I did my Drupal 6 website. Now I find myself confronted with a difficult one: setting up YouTube files the right way.

In Drupal 6, you had the embedded media field, which could work with Shadowbox. Somehow it grabbed a thumbnail from YouTube and when you clicked on that, it would show the YouTube video in the overlay window.

In Drupal 7, I find it impossible to configure it all correctly. When I set up the YouTube field as image, I get the error

Notice: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: Read error! in image_gd_get_info() (line 349 of C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal7\modules\system\image.gd.inc).

When I set it up as a file, I get all kinds of settings but not any image setting, and when I set it up as 'Multimedia asset (deprecated)' I get an embedded video (which is not the effect I want).

So what am I overlooking here? This is one of those things that drives one crazy.
