Rob,

Users of my Wordpress plugin PWA+PHP reported this to me today -- it
looks like the XML returned by the gdata API call has changed.
Whereas before there was only one MEDIA:THUMBNAIL element, now there
are two.  For some reason, the first "thumbnail" in the XML is a link
to the full-size image and the second one is the "real" thumbnail.

Here's some sample output from the new XML, where you can see two
MEDIA:THUMBNAILS, the first of which was not there two days back:

[69] => Array
        (
            [tag] => MEDIA:THUMBNAIL
            [type] => complete
            [level] => 4
            [attributes] => Array
                (
                    [URL] =>
http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FmLdJ3icsj8/TWrtmHIsplI/AAAAAAAAChA/rkj2L9RRqlI/d/Picture%2525202.jpg
                    [HEIGHT] => 394
                    [WIDTH] => 713
                )

        )

[70] => Array
        (
            [tag] => MEDIA:THUMBNAIL
            [type] => complete
            [level] => 4
            [attributes] => Array
                (
                    [URL] =>
http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FmLdJ3icsj8/TWrtmHIsplI/AAAAAAAAChA/rkj2L9RRqlI/s144-c/Picture%2525202.jpg
                    [HEIGHT] => 144
                    [WIDTH] => 144
                )

        )

The fix for me was to add some logic that checked the dimensions of
the thumbnail before outputting it to the browser, so that only the
one I want to see (the small one) is shown.

Hope this helps.

Scott
