 * YouTube doesn’t provide a thumbnail for a playlist, but I could probably add 
   support by simply retrieving the playlist and finding the thumbnail for the first
   video. Can’t guarantee when I’ll be able to add this feature though.

 * This would make the plugin even better.
 * I found a work around, but it involves going to YouTube, getting the latest embed
   coded with the first video and playlist. Which looks like this:
    <iframe width
   =”853″ height=”480″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/W2z1_G6Fb8I?list=PL8EE92AB683D0F59F”
   frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
 * Inserting this playlist in the post editor. Publish post which grabs the latest
   video thumbnail. Then going back into the post editor and modifying the embed
   code to not specify a start video. Which looks like this:
    <iframe width=”853″
   height=”480″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=PL8EE92AB683D0F59F”
   frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
