The
hqdefault
thumbnails, which are returned by default by the fast feed extractor, have black bars at the top and at the bottom, and are thus not optimal. So this PR just replaceshqdefault
withmqdefault
: it seems to work well without issues after some testing, and unlikehighresdefault
themqdefault
thumbnail always exists according to this SO. This fixes the problem with black bands in NewPipe: TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#8890 (comment)Debug apk: app-debug.zip
