how to get thumbnail of the video

[sowmithrii]

Am having a collection of videos in my server application folder under "...../sowmithrii/videos/" . now i want to display all the list on a webpage but not as a word list but as a thumbnail list.

 

how can i implement this in php. if any one got some sample code.. i will be very thankful.

Hi Mate,

 

i use:

 

       ## convert string
       $encode = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i $uploadedmoviesdir -sameq -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 $outputflvdirectory";
       
       $scrcap = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i $outputflvdirectory -s 320x240 -ss 00:00:05 -t 00:00:01 -f image2 flvmovies/screencaps/$var_loggedinuser-$timestamp-screencap.jpg";
          
       ## execute
       exec($encode);
       exec($scrcap);

 

just chance the path and name of the screencap.jpg at the end:)

Hi Mate,

 

yeah sorry i was assuming you were using FFMPEG, are you on shared hosting at all? or are you working from localhost?

 

cheers
