Is it possible to Generate a thumbnail from a video url in android

I am working on a video app. I am streaming a video from server link , is it possible for me to generate a video thumbnail from the URL without downloading the video.

Solution

  • It is not possible to create thumbnail from steaming link, you have to show it from server. Better upload a thumbnail along the video. Use the below code to generate thumbnail

    Bitmap bitmap = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail("picturePath", MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);
