I have video uploaded on server. which is trailer of movie. I can play this video direct to my videoView with the help of live url. My question: is there any method in android which help me out to get a video frame from url without download the video to local storage. I know one method name "createvideothumbnail" but it will not work in my case. because i need to get the video thumbnail without download the whole video. as you have seen the mechanism is implemented in imdb official app (Trailer section).
Please help, thanks in advance
Getting thumbnails without download the complete video is not possible until now (API Level 22) i´m pretty sure that the application that you describe load thumbnails that were created previously.
the current option would be using the class:
import android.provider.MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails;
or create the thumbnails in a separated process.

I am creating a web type application. I am able to show YouTube video thumbnail successfully from https://www.img.youtube.com/video_id ... But if there is any such way to show Google drive video thumbnail. Please help...
Fetching thumbnails from videos uploaded on Google drive is as easy as fetching thumbnails from youtube videos.
Each drive video has a unique id just a youtube video.
Goto drive-->rightclick on video-->Get link
Eg. https://drive.google.com/file/d/<video_id>/view?usp=sharing
Put that video_id in the link format below and you'll be able to get the thumbnail without Google API
https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=<video_id>
There is, you can use the Drive API's get function with field parameter thumbnailLink, it will return a URL to the video's thumbnail. Some things to keep in mind, the video needs to have been processed, which means, when you see it in the Drive folder, you should be able to see an actual thumbnail, not the video logo ().
You can find information on the File Properties here, and on the get method of the Drive API here. On that last one you can also test the method by writing thumbnailLink into the"fields" parameter.

The Get Thumbnail API can generate either a png or jpg thumbnail file from a video. But it cannot generate a video thumbnail (such as a mp4 or gif file) from a video.

I have used Exoplayer which as this feature and many more. Demo repositorie also available.
The requirement is to list a Videos thumbnails and on clicking it should play related video into Application. i am able to play url where video is located using Video View. But now i want to implement this thing in a better ways like Watsapp and instagram. If anybody have a good experience in this reference please share with me. I want to play around caching video and playing videos from cache without buffering (Video view is showing buffering bar and very slow in performance user have to wait a lot for starting a Video). Any kind of help will be appreciated. thanks.
I did it own my own. It's very simple to implement What i do is to download the video with async task along with a progressing seek bar. Once it's downloaded i'll save it in a Folder in my sdcard. We should create a Folder named as Application name so easy to identify and also always available videos with out opening application as well and next time however when i want to watch video again in my application it just check weather it is available in sdcard if yes then play immediately if not then download it. I am happy.
I'm wondering what's the best practice to get thumbnails of videos on an external URL, i.e. HTTP videos that can be streamed.
I've tried using ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(), and that works excellently for local videos, but doesn't work for videos on the web.
I've thought about a partial download of the file, and then see if it's somehow possible to get a thumbnail based on that, but I haven't tried it yet.
Any suggestions or thoughts?
