create thumbnail from rtmp link

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

We are trying to create thumbnail as shown below 

ffmpegthumbnailer -i "rtmp://xxxxxxx/mp4:Jxxxxx.mp4" -o /root/Desktop/raghu.jpg

I am getting error as shown below 

Error: Could not open input file: rtmp://xxxxxxx/mp4:Jxxxxx.mp4 

could any one help me 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
automatically generating thumbnail form rtmp server URL links

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 

Please provide any additional information below.

I was able to create a thumbnail from an rtmp stream. You can not seek in an 
rtmp stream however.

Does ffplay rtmp://xxxxxxx/mp4:Jxxxxx.mp4 work?

I tried this and it worked

ffplay 
rtmp://streaming.music.indiana.edu:1935/onDemand/mp4:media/20090327_VarRussianTh
eme-h264-480.m4v

If it doesn't work for you, you should check if the necessary option where used 
to compile your version of ffmpeg.
