Description

Expected behavior

VideoPress videos in the Reader should always display the thumbnail.

Actual behavior

When opening a post in the Reader that contains a ViedoPress video, the thumbnail is displayed as broken.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Open a post that contains a VideoPress video in the Reader.
  2. Observe that the video's thumbnail is not displayed. Instead, a broken image link icon is shown.
    NOTE: If the thumbnail is shown, try to close the post and re-open it.
