In the name of Allah the all-merciful,

how does your site pick the thumbnails of videos and news articles? I'd like to adapt my own sites in such a manner, that linking to them also displays a thumbnail instead of the standard-icon.

Praised be the prophet and the holy jihad.

P.S. I should stop letting my dune audio-book play while I sleep, as it appears to indoctrinate me, peace be upon you.

Shalom!

We're using python's Beautifulsoup, lxml and Pillow to create an image thumbnail.

You can get Throat's code there and study it:

Check "get_thumbnail(link)" function in misc.py file.

I believe, that you've posted the wrong link. That's a license.
