Description

YouTube adds colored bars left and right to YouTube Music album covers for every thumbnail to align them with other videos on YouTube instead of leaving them in their original format. When using --embed-thumbnail youtube-dlc takes this skrewed up version of the thumbnail instead of the actual album cover.

The real cover images can be found in the DOM of a YT Music page after it's link has been generated by this. <img id="img" class="style-scope yt-img-shadow" alt="" width="1048" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Bi3GBXWn_5HqRL52s3HMzIRqp-uSdqwE6gdOmvCnNgoKud1YfhJhcRL9MSmT2FR8MUSk7FhUl4h9y64=w544-h544-l90-rj">

youtube music extractor is different from youtube extractor?

@Ashish0804 No. Though it can easily be easily separated if it requires additional functionality
