What feature do you want?

This is a small fix/enhancement.
HD channel art fetch for Channel overview page. (YouTube extractor)

Why do you want this feature?

NewPipe currently extracts YouTube channel art at extremely low quality, the preview (on a channel preview page) looks pixelated.

NOTE: HD channel art seems to be fetched and shown in a search (using the search tool in the results) or in the comment section
-> everything there works properly.
This is NOT the case on the channel page (e.g. after clicking on a channel in the comments/search; look at the image in the upper right corner).

This can be fixed in the following way:

  • Keep the current extreaction method.
  • Try fetching the HQ image using either an existing method, or truncate the image url from this:

https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AKedOLTU70U7Q6PAhn2C7Wght2Zi7ZZbQzBQHB-XXXXXXX=s100-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj

to this

https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AKedOLTU70U7Q6PAhn2C7Wght2Zi7ZZbQzBQHB-XXXXXXX

provided that you have the url
(e.g. truncate anything after the '=' char.)
Note: example url, NOT functional

A plain browser displays the 2nd url-image without issue.
