Trying to generate an Thumbnail image from video , the file is created but , errors as Invalid image on load .Using this package video_thumbnail
Creating thumbnail ,
Future<File> genThumbnail(url) async {
//WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
Uint8List bytes;
final Completer<ThumbnailResult> completer = Completer();
bytes = await VideoThumbnail.thumbnailData(
video: url,
imageFormat: ImageFormat.JPEG,
maxHeight: 250,
maxWidth: 300,
timeMs: 0,
quality: 0);
int _imageDataSize = bytes.length;
print("image size: $_imageDataSize");
//final _image = Image.memory(bytes);
//var _file =File.fromRawPath(bytes);
Directory tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
var uint8list = bytes;
var buffer = uint8list.buffer;
ByteData byteData = ByteData.view(buffer);
File file = await File('${tempDir.path}/img/THUMBNAIL${DateTime.now().toIso8601String()}.JPEG').writeAsBytes(
buffer.asUint8List(byteData.offsetInBytes, byteData.lengthInBytes));
return file;
}
Saving to firestore
await genThumbnail(fileurl).then((_thumbFIle) async{
String Thumbfileurl = await uploadFile(_thumbFIle, 'thumbnailOf${filenamewithoutExtension}.JPEG', 'videothumbnail');
await sendFileToFirestoreChat(fileType, fileurl, filenamewithoutExtension,Thumbfileurl);
return fileurl;
});
Posting this as a Community Wiki as it's based on @pskink comments.
To resolve, add the writeAsBytes(bytes)
instead of writeAsBytes(buffer.asUint8List())
. There is no need for any buffer
.
