 * Your plugin uses maxresdefault thumbnails for all youtube videos but some videos
   don’t have maxresdefault thumbnail but hqdefault thumbnail. For example you can
   have a look at the links below:
 * [https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x7kvZjWXWik/maxresdefault.jpg](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x7kvZjWXWik/maxresdefault.jpg)
   
   [https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x7kvZjWXWik/hqdefault.jpg](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x7kvZjWXWik/hqdefault.jpg)
 * I changed the plug-in’s code to use hqdefault instead of maxresdefault so that
   i have a thumbnail for every embedded video and as a side benefit my site loads
   faster as hqdefault versions are way smaller than maxresdefault ones.
 * I like this plugin very much but i have to re-edit its code to make it use hqdefault
   instead of maxresdefault everytime you guys release an update unless you make
   a similar code change in your codebase too 🙂
 * Would you consider a code change to fix this maxresdefault problem such as using
   hqdefault instead or using hqdefault when maxresdefault is not available?

 * I discovered this problem when running one of my sites [http://mytrinitychurch.com](http://mytrinitychurch.com)
   on page speed insights, so I believe there is still more work to do with this
   issue. See images here from page speed insights and the developer console:

 * May I ask how, or where, this was fixed, and how I could possible select hqdefault?
   I cannot find any option to choose hqdefault vs masresdefault, and there is a
   large difference in size. I do see code with both options in ytprefs.js in reference
   to Facade, and in youtube.php (line 2782). Thanks.

 * It HASN’T been fixed, and the developers don’t seem to care. One of the crappiest
   plugins I’ve found.
