Glide: Load Video Thumbnail

[hateum]

How can I load Thumbnail from a video url.
for now I use "MediaMetadataRetriever" to get the bitmap but I want to load it with glide.
is this possible ?

I never did that, but did you try just loading it with .load(Uri)? Maybe an additional .asBitmap() but not necessarily. Also see http://stackoverflow.com/a/30769399/253468

Glide fetch thumbnail of local video only.
I'm asking for a solution to get thumbnail of video from network

[TWiStErRob]

Hmm, in that case I suggest that you write a custom model and DataFetcher, something like #699.

Thanks, working like a charm

I think in case of a video it's important to note to use RESULT cache only, to prevent saving the whole video to disk cache even though only a single frame is needed from it. And hopefully that single frame will be decoded from a significantly smaller fraction of the file at the beginning.

@hateum Hello, would you mind sharing how you get it to work with remote url. I am having the same issue and can't figure out the custom model/data fetcher thing. Thanks a lot.

Hey Gents,
I have a solution for the video thumbnail from remote url.

You must use glide 4.5.0 gradle dependency for achieving this..

long interval = 5000 * 1000;
RequestOptions options = new RequestOptions().frame(interval);
Glide.with(context).asBitmap()
.load(APIConfig.URL_VIDEOLOC+feedItem.getVideoFile())
.apply(options)
.into(feedListRowHolder.videoView.getCoverView());

Happy Coding :-)
