I don't know why this error is occurring and I don't know how to reproduce it because this error does not happen every time...

I encountered the same issue when I was trying to get a thumbnail from a video taken by camera. This seems to happen on iOS only. Here's a workaround.

Install two packages : image_gallery_saver, photo_manager
Save video file taken by camera into user gallery
Find the saved video with photo_manager like code below.

  Future<AssetEntity?> fetchLatestVideoAsset() async {
    final albums = await PhotoManager.getAssetPathList(
        onlyAll: true,
        type: RequestType.video,
    );
    if (albums.isEmpty) return null;
    final assets = await albums.first.getAssetListPaged(0, 1);
    return assets.first;
  }

fetchLatestVideoAsset

Thanks for the answer and this workaround. Anyway, we need this issue to be fixed...

I have a fix, though I am not sure it's the proper fix. I found that if you set the requestedTimeToleranceAfter to 100ms, then the thumbnail is properly generated. I forked the repo and made a change myself for a personal project here:

I'm gonna try and use this fix now. @mjbader are you still using your fork successfully ?
