i have the same prob ,but have figured out with YOUtube API ,

make your feed url in this pattern

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/[INSERT USERNAME]/uploads

after in the generated xml there is a media:thumnail tag where u can used to display youtube thumnails images.

without using this format u will get a descr tag with div style image thumbnail quite hard to parse as it is a html part,

better try this,i have solved this using type of feed pattern
