从没有图像的视频中显示Jwplayer预览图像

Question

I am using jwplayer 6.10, I am having multiple video getting uploaded dynamically.

To show image preview for jwplayer I need to use below in setup

image: "myimage.jpg",

Is there any way to make jwplayer preview images without using this image: "myimage.jpg",

I am trying to avoid creating preview image from server side using video but if that is last option let me know how to do that

So I have two questions

1. Is it possible to get the image for preview from video source in jwplayer ?

2. If its not possible, How do you create thumbnails from video

Answer 1

The answer to question number one is "no." JW Player is a steering script - it doesn't touch the video file at all, nor does it include any utilities for manipulating it.

Probably your best bet for extracting thumbnails server-side is with ffmpeg:
