Does anyone know if it is possible to pull the dynamic thumbnails generated by Youtube so you could build something like they have in their playlists items (see screen shot to understand what I'm talking about).

If ID is the id of a youtube video, you can get its thumbnails by putting:
http://img.youtube.com/vi/ID/1.jpg
or:
http://img.youtube.com/vi/ID/2.jpg
or:
http://img.youtube.com/vi/ID/3.jpg

You can then use the images as links for the video.
