I've created a custom post type and added some custom meta boxes using this great resource: https://github.com/WebDevStudios/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress
The problem, I've found, is that the post meta fields have a different id depending on whether the post is from the first category of type or not. I had had a problem pulling the post meta on a page template because of it, here: New WP_query in template not working with CPT+category on some pages, resulting in having to reference a different meta box id for different page templates, depending on the category I was pulling.
Not a huge deal, but it now brings me to my current situation: Pulling thumbnails from oembedded videos and setting them as the featured image automatically, using this fantastic plugin, Featured Image of Video from oembed, works on that first category, but none of the others. It has to be related somehow, right?
Here's my custom meta box code:
//Initialize the meta boxes
add_action( 'init', 'wpt_initialize_cmb_meta_boxes', 9999 );
function wpt_initialize_cmb_meta_boxes() {
if ( ! class_exists( 'cmb_Meta_Box' ) )
require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/includes/metaboxes/init.php';
}
//add custom fields
add_filter( 'cmb_meta_boxes' , 'wpt_create_metaboxes' );
function wpt_create_metaboxes( $meta_boxes ) {
// Start with an underscore to hide fields from custom fields list
$prefix = '_cmb_';
//Films details meta boxes
$meta_boxes[] = array(
'id' => 'film_contents',
'title' => 'Films',
'pages' => array('films'),//Add our post_type() we created earlier.
'context' => 'normal',
'priority' => 'low',
'show_names' => true,
'fields' => array(
array( //Add video embed field
'name' => 'Film URL',
'desc' => 'Enter a youtube or vimeo URL. Supports services listed at <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds">http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds</a>.',
'id' => $prefix .'film_embed',
'type' => 'oembed',
),
array( //Add a text area
'name' => 'Film Description',
'desc' => 'A few words about the film.',
'std' => '',
'id' => $prefix .'film_textarea',
'type' => 'textarea',
),
)
);
return $meta_boxes;
}
Here's my modified "Featured Image from oembed" code to work with my meta box:

I tried modifying this part (from directly above):
if ( $content = get_post_field( 'film_embed', $this->_post_id, 'raw' ) ) {
add_filter( 'oembed_dataparse', array( $this, 'oembed_dataparse' ), 10, 3 );
$wp_embed->autoembed( $content );
remove_filter( 'oembed_dataparse', array( $this, 'oembed_dataparse' ), 10, 3 );
}
...like this to include the possibility of the _cmb_ prefix to film_embed:
if ( $content = get_post_field( 'film_embed', $this->_post_id, 'raw' ) || $content = get_post_field( '_cmb_film_embed', $this->_post_id, 'raw' ) ) {
add_filter( 'oembed_dataparse', array( $this, 'oembed_dataparse' ), 10, 3 );
$wp_embed->autoembed( $content );
remove_filter( 'oembed_dataparse', array( $this, 'oembed_dataparse' ), 10, 3 );
}
...but it didn't work. What am I missing?
