A preview image is shown as a placeholder with the familiar YouTube 'play' button on top. The video is not loaded until the play button is clicked. The image has the 'lazy' property set for browsers that recognize it.

Noticed the missing webp preview image on all YouTube videos a while ago. Such a shame. They are so much more efficient when you call them in this way. Great addon.

Yeah, it's surprising that with YT being under the Google umbrella that they don't generate the .webp versions of the thumbnail as needed instead of returning a 404. It was also surprising how many if them were bigger than then same thumb in the old . jpg format. According to the Google docs the larger file sizes can occur when the .webp is generated from an already optimized source image.

Hi, it would be cool to have the name of the youtube video above the screenhot of the video.
it should be possible to recive the name by youtube api:

var YoutubeApiKey = "...";
var Id = "ylLzyHk54Z0";
$.get("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id=" + Id + "&key=" + YoutubeApiKey, function(data) {alert(data.items[0].snippet.title);});

Hello! I'm afraid this mod does not work when loading more articles on frontpage with Xenporta: https://www.batacas.com (you can't play youtube videos in newly loaded articles, and they don't show any thumbnail).

Hello! Any help on #5?

I don't have access to XenPorta to play with. You could try switching from this add-on to to the one from Joshy with the different media codes; I thought I saw someone mention lazy loading YT with that add-on but not sure since I don't use it.
