How to get thumbnail url?

[ghost]

I am having problem to get thumbnail url. Is there any getter that returns thumbnail url.

[nficano]

This is very simple in the latest release:

YouTube('https://youtu.be/9bZkp7q19f0').thumbnail_url

Thank You So much

The thumbnails have poor quality, is it possible to get a url to a higher resolution of them?

Would it be possible to add a new getter to retrieve the thumbnails available in player_config_args['player_response']['videoDetails']['thumbnail']['thumbnails'] ?

The thumbnails available there offer higher resolution and thus, are more sutiable to be used as cover art than the actual thumbnails that YouTube('https://youtu.be/9bZkp7q19f0').thumbnail_url return (default.jpg thumbnails are 120×90).

A non breaking-change solution might be to add another property like:

@property
def example(self):
    details = self.player_config_args['player_response']['videoDetails']
        
    thumbnails = [thumb['url'] for thumb in details['thumbnail']['thumbnails']]      
    return thumbnails

This new property would return a list with four thumbnail urls. The list is ordered in a way that the first thumbnail has the lowest resolution(168×94) and the last one offers the highest(336×188).

Another solution would involve rewriting the thumbnail_url property to return both the default thumbnail and the new ones. This might be possible following the list approach -ordering the urls by resolution- or by returning a dictionary.

If anyone finds this idea desirable I could create a pull request.

Is there a method that i can display an image in tkinter with the image url?

I got it. Listen carefully default image that pytube generates is this "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AjucWaIZ_Zk/sddefault.jpg". Now your only work is to change that sddefault.jpg to maxresdefault.jpg ok if u still have any problem then my whatsapp number +919937660423

Its possible... But at first you need to download the image since tkinter probably does not support displaying images from links.

import requests, shutil
from PIL import ImageTk, Image

root = Tk()

r = requests.get('your-link-here', stream=True)
if r.status_code == 200:
    with open("img.png", 'wb') as f:
        r.raw.decode_content = True
        shutil.copyfileobj(r.raw, f)

img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("img.png"))
label = Label(root, image = img)
label.pack()

root.mainloop()

I also looked it up somewhere online... Hope it helps!
