Hi !

I wonder whether there is a way to create thumbnails of flv-videos. These uploaded videos are not converted by ffmpeg, thus no thumbnail is generated. Is there an easy way to fix that ?

thanks in advance !

This is a good point. I might try to look into making this happen this weekend.

Supplement to this it would be nice to specify a thumbnail to upload that avoids the conversion completely. Two cases for this
1. FLV file that doesn't get converted with a specified thumbnail jpg
2. Video file to convert with a specified thumbnail jpg

I think based on all of the new features we've got, we need to postpone this until after the 1.5 release. Hopefully that won't be too far off.

Please feel free to post any patches if you are able to do any development on this feature yourself.

Is this one slated for the next dev release?

I don't have a working version of ffmpeg handy, but would someone be willing to test this on some flv?

flashvideo_convert($flv_file, $node_type, TRUE, '-i @input -vframes 1 -ss @thumbtime -r 1 -f image2 -s "@thumbsize" -an -y @output');
