Update Documentation - Create Thumbnail From Root Assets #72

Closed hasToDev closed 3 years ago

hasToDev commented 3 years ago

Add documentation on how to create a thumbnail from video assets declared in pubspec.yaml.

When using VideoThumbnail.thumbnailData or VideoThumbnail.thumbnailFile to create a thumbnail of the video located in root assets directly will throw _MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method file on channel videothumbnail). Even though the video is playable and already declared in pubspec.yaml.

So to handle video located in root assets, we load and create a temporary File, then provide the path to VideoThumbnail.thumbnailFile.
