How to render a Youtube thumbnail in a template in Drupal 7

Question

I am using the following modules:

• media
• media_youtube
• Styles

and would like to render a thumbnail of a Youtube video in a templa

Answer 1

One more example, which makes possible to render video thumbnail (vimeo, youtube, qbrick, etc.) with your custom image style.

$file - File object that you can easily get from media field.

$wrapper = file_stream_wrapper_get_instance_by_uri($file->uri);
$image_uri = $wrapper->getLocalThumbnailPath();

$image_rendered = theme('image_style', array(
  'style_name' => 'YOUR_IMAGE_STYLE_HERE',
  'path' => $image_uri
));

Please note, that if you want to render also image, than you need to check $file->type if it's video or image, because it will use different wrapper objects with different methods.
