What is it?
Description of the changes in your PR
Since the last extractor update (which included TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#810), YouTube thumbnail urls point to thumbnails with the original aspect ratio preserved (16:9 for normal videos, 9:16 for shorts I think). Before this change, some other "legacy" urls were obtained, which instead pointed to images with pre-added black bars for shorts to make them all 16:9. This change revealed that NewPipe was not treating correctly images with aspect ratios different than 16:9, showing only their center part using the
scaleType="centerCrop"
property. Instead I usedscaleType="fitCenter"
, see the difference in the screenshots.SoundCloud and Bandcamp square thumbnails also look better.
I also made it so that playlist thumbnails align left, so that a smaller part of the thumbnail is hidden under the black bar on the right.
