Thumbnails for youtube content.

The module is released under GPLV3 so you are allowed to have a look at the source code and change anything to suit your needs.
My brother needed a website that could play youtube, vimeo and other video types so I ran into a similar small issue when using mediafront.
Basically I added a url field to my content type called field_mediafront_url (for the vimeo and youtube video links) and added two functions to get the thumbnails.

I Added two functions to my mediafront.module then

function getYoutubeThumbnail($url) {
    preg_match('/[\\?\\&]v=([^\\?\\&]+)/', $url, $matches);
    $videoid = $matches[1];
    return "http://img.youtube.com/vi/" .$videoid . "/hqdefault.jpg";
}

function getVimeoThumbnail($url) {
    preg_match("/(\\d+)/is", $url, $matches); //grab the vimeo video id
    $imgid = $matches[1];
    $hash = unserialize(file_get_contents("http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/$imgid.php"));
    return $hash[0]['thumbnail_large'];
}

I'll upload my version of mediafront.module in a sec as to show how I edited it to use the two functions above.
Basically if no image is added and its a youtube or vimeo video it will use the thumbnail from youtube or vimeo.
Youtube itself generates several different thumbnails so I am unsure that the hqdefault.jpg will work everytime.

Here it is. Just replace this file with the one in your mediafront directory and create a text field called "field_mediafront_url"
Let me know if you need any help getting this to work.

Thank you so much for your contribution andrew.

I will look at adding this to the latest build!

Hi Travis,

Has this functionality been added to the dev version. In my use case I need users to be able to click on a linked thumbnail that points to the full node . Currently, all the YouTube thumbnails link to media/1 or media/2, etc, where the YouTube embedded video shows and works as expected (I think), except it looks like that link is created by medal or media YouTube.

On full nodes mediafront works great, but I can't get the thumbnail to link to it's node. I've already posted posted in the issue queue of Media youtube, but thought I'd try here too.

Thanks

This has been fixed in the 7.x-2.x version.
