The Wistia API by default delivers a 100 x 60 pixels image as a video thumbnail, which is far too small to create any quality derivatives from. A full-size original can be fetched instead by simply dropping an argument from the source image URL. Patch to follow.

Looks good at visual inspection, not sure if the extra line is needed, but I wouldn't block on account of that.

The blank line? I did that to avoid the confusion as to which lines the comment refers to. If there's an established convention for that, I'd gladly hear it.

Hello,

I was trying to solve the quality of thumbs too, but it was Drupal 7 version of this module.

Here is my approach to make a better quality for thumbs, changed some lines of code in MediaWistiaStreamWrapper.inc file, from line 45:

  /**
   * Gets the original thumbnail for the wistia video
   * @return mixed
   */
  function getOriginalThumbnailPath($http_path = '') {
    $parts = $this->get_parameters();
    if(!empty($parts['url'])) {
      $media = _media_wistia_request_data($parts['url']);
      // Strip image crop parameter to get full-sized original.
      $url = str_replace('image_crop_resized=100x60', 'image_crop_resized=640x360', $media['thumbnail_url']);
      return $url;
    } else {
      $media = $this->api->mediaShow($parts['v']);
      $url = str_replace('image_crop_resized=100x60', 'image_crop_resized=640x360', $media->thumbnail->url);
    }
    return $url;
  }

Full-size original image is now in 640x360 dimensions. You can change this value to make it bigger of smaller.

Hope it helps.

Regards,
