[YouTube-API] Re: Youtube thumbnail is stretched

Hello Noppanit,

There's no way to specify the desired aspect ratio that you want for
a YouTube thumbnail. They're all generated in a fixed 4:3 aspect ratio
at this time.

If you need to display the thumbnail in a different aspect ratio,
like 16:9, you could use CSS to position the thumbnail within a parent
container on your web page so that the top and bottom are cropped.
This is what's done on the YouTube home page, for instance.

Cheers,
