ShoeLace1291 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I was wondering if there is a way to get the thumbnail for a video with php. You know, like if you go to a directory on your own computer and it shows a video file with a screenshot thumbnail like it does for an image. I'm not looking for a pre-made script. I want to make my own. My videos are stored in a database which is how I am getting the info. I am doing it this way because I want to order the videos by date, views, rating, etc. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/162299-video-thumbnails/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I assume your storing the filepaths of the videos in a database.. as for getting a thumbnail well if all the videos are the same format/encoding you could possible write a parsa.. but thats going to be long and slow.. I would recommend you use ffmpeg (external program run via system()) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/162299-video-thumbnails/#findComment-856632 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadTechie Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Anti-Bump: 17. Users should not "bump" topics that are still on the first page of the forums. If you bump, you must provide additional information. If you resort to bumping, chances are your question needs to be re-thought and re-described (see Eric Raymond's "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way"). Plus you have a solution already!
