404 on maxresdefault.jpg, should fallback to next available image

[jaskaran27]

I am getting 404s for a couple of video thumbnails. If maxresdefault.jpg is not available, it should use sddefault.jpg. If that is not available, it should fallback to the next available thumbnail image and so on.

there is no easy way to reliably determine the availability of maxresdefault.jpg, try this workaround: tmtmtm@a2f0b8d
still, its not 100% reliable.

update - please test: tmtmtm@59a2b3e

I tested this out, but I still get 404s for sddefault.jpg. I guess those videos are not HD. If sddefault.jpg is not available, it should be getting hqdefault.jpg.

made some fixes, please update. if this does not solve the issue, then more complex checking of youtube data will be needed.
