oohembed response for youtube does not contain thumbnail-url

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. send an oohembed request with url parameter like
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auBui2-mzyA"
2. receive a response, that contains correct properties but is missing the
video thumbnail url.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The JSON string with the thumbnail-url property for youtube.com resources.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
It works fine with other resources like vimeo, slideshare, scribd, etc.

oohEmbed just proxies Youtube's official oEmbed endpoint and does not modify 
the json response in any way. 

If you believe thumbnail elements should be included, please report this issue 
to Youtube.

I think the issue is still open.

For example, if you look here 
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/ueyrb1PhULg?
alt=json you will see that there (in youtube feed) is thumbnails informations.

@patrycjusz.szydlo Yes, the gdata API has thumbnail info. And before youtube 
launched 
their own oEmbed endpoint, oohEmbed was actually using the gdata API to provide 
oEmbed responses that contain thumbnail attributes. 

However, once Youtube launched an oEmbed endpoint, I decided to simplify my 
life & 
switch over to using that. And AFAIK, their oEmbed responses don't include 
thumbnails. So if you would like thumbnails in Youtube response, please open an 
issue 
with Youtube.

Clear?! :-)
