Hello guys! Is there any way to get "storyboard" for youtube videos? It is the image that popus when you hovering video progressbar (time preview, not a thumbnail). Cannot find any option related to this, also there is no such info in json dump.

Storyborad links looks like "https://i9.ytimg.com/sb/quxmiWngllo/storyboard3_L2/M0.jpg?sigh=_m2B-EynQsrHPLsZ_-q1OJuV8Sw".

By the way, which video is the storyboard image above from?

from the storyboard url it should be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quxmiWngllo. the storyboard info appear in the storyboard_spec but it should be transfered:

"storyboard_spec":"https:\/\/i9.ytimg.com\/sb\/quxmiWngllo\/storyboard3_L$L\/$N.jpg|48#27#100#10#10#0#default#zrVzWXHTZ3BwaVzeMAj-RiQb_4Q|80#45#108#10#10#2000#M$M#Q_NLCwMvxakyFbQikttb7VEG1yQ|160#90#108#5#5#2000#M$M#_m2B-EynQsrHPLsZ_-q1OJuV8Sw"

by using this info and trying to modify the url in the issue i found another storyboard url(i guest there should be at least 3 images sparated by |): https://i9.ytimg.com/sb/quxmiWngllo/storyboard3_L1/M0.jpg?sigh=Q_NLCwMvxakyFbQikttb7VEG1yQ

as @yan12125 said this need some codes to add(document a new field in the info dict and how the url can be transformed for youtube and then add extraction logic for other websites).
