I've looked a bit on what could cause this and noticed that the local API gives the "correct" playlist thumbnails under thumbnail_renderer instead of thumbnails. Unfortunately though the Invidious API doesn't give the correct thumbnails, which may be a deal breaker. If it's not though, I'd be happy to make a pull request to fix only the local API.

Hi @jadenet we're happy to accept a PR addressing only the Local API. I guess i have to create an issue over at Invidious if we want to have an fix for the Invidious API.

Hi @AtulPatidar1709 this feature was implemented by @jadenet in https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/pull/3710 for the Local API.

The only thing left to do is to implement this also for the Invidious API but that needs to be done in the Invidious repo.
