Hello Friends,

Before two days ago one of my client has been requested that he needs to show youtube video`s thumbnail image on page when user will click on that thumbnail one modelpopup will be open and in that model popup actual youtube video will be shown. To fullfill client`s request i have to create Youtube video`s thumbail on fly so when i was googling i have found one nice functionality of youtube.

Actually Youtube is providing one facility where it gives you all the video`s image file.
Let`s take example which will gives you more clear view what i m saying
Below i have added two links,
first link shows you youtube video link and second link shows you that same video has its own image on another server name as http://img.youtube.com/

1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kk-yZ7VpeA

2) http://img.youtube.com/vi/3Kk-yZ7VpeA/0.jpg

So what you need to create Youtube video`s image thumbnail is YouTube video’s URL address or at least video’s YouTube ID.
