Create Thumbnail Image From Video File, Titanium Mobile

video.thumbnail.js

/**

var movie = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
	contentURL:FILENAME,
	backgroundColor:'#111',
	movieControlStyle: Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_EMBEDDED,
	scalingMode:Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FILL,
	width:70,
	height:70
});
var thumbBlob = movie.thumbnailImageAtTime(2.0, Titanium.Media.VIDEO_TIME_OPTION_EXACT);
var thumbFile = Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory + "/media"+index+"_"+timestamp+".jpg";
var thumb = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(thumbFile);
thumb.write( thumbBlob );

Tried creating a thumbnail from a local video using the following:

var player = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
    height: 172,
    media: video,
    scalingMode: Ti.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FILL,
    width: 276
});

var imageBlob = player.thumbnailImageAtTime(1.0, Ti.Media.VIDEO_TIME_OPTION_EXACT);

However, the image blob that is returned from thumbnailImageAtTime has a width of 0 and a height of 0. The mime type of the blob says it is in fact a jpeg so I'm not quite sure what could be wrong. If you have any insight it would be much appreciated!

Yss... I have the same issue.. i want thumbnail image for android.

@Espiritha Try using the async method requestThumbnailImagesAtTimes( times, option, callback ), which supports iOS, Android.

Did anyone find a solution to this? I am finding that if I record a video and then use requestThumbnailImagesAtTimes it will not get into the callback. It will if it is a remote URL. I have tried copying the file to a temp directory but that did not help.

This Worked for Me. Try this....
videoPlayer.requestThumbnailImagesAtTimes([0],Titanium.Media.VIDEO_TIME_OPTION_NEAREST_KEYFRAME,setBackgroundImage);

//Callback for thumbnail image
function setBackgroundImage(e){
videoPlayer.backgroundImage = e.image;
//By e.image you get thumbnail image.
}
