Description

Scenario:
User add a youtube video via file list. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew6_lYiGWo4

Current state:
The YouTubeHelper get the preview image via "maxresdefault.jpg" (16:9 or 1280x720) If this image isn't available (404 code) the fallback is the 0.jpg (4:3 or 480x360) But maxresimage isn't available for all videos " This image size is available for some videos and other resources that refer to videos, like playlist items or search results."

Possible workaround:
To respect another 16:9 format source, we could add another fallback before "0.jpg": "mqdefault.jpg" (320x180)
