I'm making an app that downloads movies from the server and stores them localy in the NSDocumentDirectory.
This works fine.
I want to add a thumbnail generated from each movie in front of the name in each cell.
My problem:
How can I generate a thumbnail from a movie after it is downloaded (so instantly, without having to play the movie first)? I want to store the thumbnails with the same name of the movie as a jpg in the NSDocumentDirectory.
My guess
-download movie and store it in NSDocumentDirectory (works)
-somehow load the movie in the MPMoviePlayerController's memory (don't know how)
-when loaded in memory, generate thumbnail with thumbnailImageAtTime (MPMovieTimeOptionNearestKeyFrame) (should work)
-store it (should work)
If anyone could help me…
Thanks
