fixes #70.
The default has been the
hqdefaultjpg, which is only 360px tall, but standard embed height is 405px. So it's always been getting scaled.With this PR, we still default to the above jpg, but we'll see if the
sddefaultwebp (480px tall) is available for the specific video. If so, we swap it in.ref #76
You can always just have ultimate control over the poster image by setting a
style=background-imagemanually: https://github.com/paulirish/lite-youtube-embed/#custom-poster-image (long-time feature).And I made an interactive page that finds the best poster image available for your video: https://paulirish.github.io/lite-youtube-embed//testpage/poster-image-availability.html
