Same as YouTube does.
That's the last thing I'm missing in order to completely switch over :+1:

It's a good idea, but I think it's hard to implement. Do you know any video players that does this apart from web players where they control the content?

mbonaci commented 9 years ago

I'm aware of the fact that there was a discussion about this on VLC forum: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=100408

EDITED (lame suggestion the first time): But this might be more helpful: https://github.com/vdemedes/node-video-thumb

Yeah, loads of similar stuff on GH.

But you'd probably like to use something with no native dependencies, right? I found videoconverter which is an emscripten conversion of ffmpeg. There's a demo that shows how to take screenshots of a video.

The problem is that we need to convert files on the fly.

There is an open issue for that, here https://github.com/mafintosh/playback/issues/15
