 * Hey Kevin,
 * Lazy Load for Videos is a super awesome plugin, thank you! I’m wondering if there
   is a chance to get a better quality image for the YouTube video? I’m using the
   videos in an almost window wide format and the thumbnail images currently appear
   very-very pixelated.
 * Guess there would be 2 ways to approach this,
    1. have a thumbnail quality option
   in preferences or 2. let the script detect the player width and load an appropriate
   image (which would be awesomely responsive).

 * Hi,
 * sorry for my relatively late response. I’ve already noted your issue on my to-
   do list as a prior to-do. But for now, there is no option. You can sign up to
   the mailing list for Lazy Load for Videos users to stay up-to-date on new features.(
   You find the sign up form on the plugin’s options panel.)
 * Best regards,
 * Kevin

 * Hey guys,
 * I had the same “problem” and found a quick solution: First, have a look on this
   StackOVerflow thread to get an idea how Youtube’s img-thumbnail system works:
   [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2068344/how-do-i-get-a-youtube-video-thumbnail-from-the-youtube-api](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2068344/how-do-i-get-a-youtube-video-thumbnail-from-the-youtube-api)
 * Then, go into the MINIMIZED (!) version (in “min” folder) of the plugin’s JS:
   lazy-load-for-videos/js/min/lazyload-youtube-ck.js and search for “0.jpg” and
   change it to “maxresdefault.jpg”. Voila! You’ll have high-resolution thumbnails
   now.
 * Why the minimized version ? Because wordpress delivers this one to the user, 
   not the un-minimized one. To a quick fix this is totally okay I think.
 * [@kevin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevin/): Awesome script man, thanks!
   Maybe this “fix” can go into future versions of lazy-load-for-videos.

 * Hi panique,
    amazing! Thanks for that link. An “image quality” option will be
   available with the next update (version 1.7 or higher).
 * Regards,
    Kevin

 * Hi,
 * I’ve released version 2.0 yesterday that adds support for thumbnails with better
   quality.

    Kevin
