Archiving all metadata from YouTube (everything except videos themselves due to size)

will it include thumbnails? if included please make sure 4 thumbnails are saved, every youtube video include 4 thumbnails

maxres.webp are not always available especially for low resolution video, hq.webp will always available for all videos AFAIK.

There is no need for archiving maxres and hq together, if maxres available just archive maxres, just archive hq if not available, mq.webp (medium) and .webp (low) is not useful due to mediocre quality.

high quality thumbnails will be archived for v1 and v2 items, only lower quality will be archived for v items due to size.
