Video thumbnail used as post thumbnail looks bad (blue overlay with play button)

[Gandalf-the-Grey]

I've just sent a note to @heiditravels that she unnecessarily includes picture with video preview on top of a post in addition to embedded video because nowadays both steemit and busy are smart enough to make a post thumbnail using video thumbnail.
The problem is that when she does that, there are two almost similar pictures in a post body, one next to another.
Then I noticed that while it is redundant in a post body, it looks way better on a preview page.

Expected behavior

Thumbnails of posts with youtube videos should look similar to regular thumbnails of photos, i.e. without blue overlay.

Actual behavior

When user adds link to video, it is with a blue overlay and a play button on a thumbnail view, thus previews looks really bad.

How to reproduce

This looks good:

This looks bad:

I get that unlike Steemit, busy can play those videos straight from a preview (which is cool feature by the way) however, users have to chose whether they want good looking preview image or instant-play feature (Heidi's videos can't be played from preview because she uses thumbnails instead. Either than or playable, but ugly looking preview)

So maybe no blue overlay and much much more subtle play button?

Thanks for reporting this.
Turns out we can use different thumbnail URL to get preview in 16:9 format.
We need to update embedjs for this.

Proposed the ratio change on busyorg/embedjs#10.

However, it still doesn't solve the "blue ugly overlay". :)
