    Hi there and thanks for the plugin!

    I’m using a featured post slider with a 620px width on my home page but the images from your plugin aren’t wider than 480px . My size settings for the featured image are add_image_size( ‘featured’, 700, 426, true ); so that shouldn’t be the problem.

    Any idea how to create bigger thumbnails…?

    Any help would be highly apprciated!

    Cheers,
    Thomas

    Solved! In case anyone else is looking for bigger YouTube thumbnails:

    In video-thumbnails.php of the plugin change this

    // If we've found a YouTube video ID, create the thumbnail URL
if ( isset( $matches[1] ) ) {	$youtube_thumbnail = 'http://img.youtube.com/vi/' . $matches[1] . '/0.jpg';

    to this 

    // If we've found a YouTube video ID, create the thumbnail URL
if ( isset( $matches[1] ) ) {	$youtube_thumbnail = 'http://img.youtube.com/vi/' . $matches[1] . '/maxresdefault.jpg';

    I’d like to point out that maxresdefault.jpg doesn’t always exist, so the next version has a check to see if it exists then falls back to a smaller size.
