In the GUI (gui brach: https://github.com/P2PSP/p2psp/tree/gui) would be interesting to download a thumbnail of the channel from a URL and save it into a local location. Also, the use of the relative path instead of absolute path would be great.

ffmpeg -i http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Big_Buck_Bunny_small.ogv -r 0.1315097317201473 -s 480x270 -an -f image2 thumb_%d.jpg This command generates some thumbnails of given URL using ffmpeg multimedia framework. We could do this at real time as well and at same time when we transcoding video from URL.

Hi @iharsh234,

Thanks! It sounds very interesting (we could do it!) but I meant to something much more simple. In the GUI, when you add a channel, you can enter a URL for the channel thumbnail, the problem is that in this moment it only works with local images.

The GUI stuff should be discussed in a different repository.
