Low-res thumbnail image? #7

Closed emwee closed 7 years ago

emwee commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I implemented this plugin to improve the load time of a page I'm working on; only to discover the thumbnail image that's picked when not setting a width (maxresdefault.jpg) is actually 462 kB, which is more than the JS filesize I was trying to avoid! Is there any way to optimize this?

Thanks!

@emwee I've dome some updates on how images are loaded. Could you please check if this problem persists?

Well, according to my demo's its selecting an image based on the actual video container size.
