What is a thumbnail? #17

Hi, thanks for your awesome package. Really saves me a lot of time. However I don't quite understand what the Future<List<int>> that is returned by the getThumbnail() call represents.

Hi, thanks !

A thumbnail is a small image representing the media. The List<int> represents the bytes of that image.

To render it from a widget you can use MediaThumbnailProvider.
