I am trying to display the preview thumbnail when user move his finger over video scrubber.
The only solution I m finding is to extract thumbnails using some 3rd party tool and save it to server or pass it to app via some JSON.
What I m trying to do is something similar to JwPlayer (http://jwplayer.electroteque.org/controls-preview)
Any idea where to start?
Or is here any standard protocol that support manual generated thumbnails? Or i need to go with my own feed format.
I don't quite know what the configuration of your project is, but one possibility is too actually instantiate a mini player and display the progress of the video as the user the slides. So essentially this "mini player" would appear when the user begins drag, and skip to whatever time is specified, and pause. It is similar to a project I am working on now. This is a great reference as well: http://www.autodeskresearch.com/pdf/p1159-matejka.pdf. This technique is much different then the one I suggested, but is another alternative depending on your scenario.
