Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

The add_thumbnail package is a Flutter plugin designed to generate thumbnails from video files. It enables developers to extract a specific frame from a video and convert it into a thumbnail image, useful for media previews or video listing interfaces. The package supports video processing on both Android and iOS platforms, providing a straightforward API to specify the video path and desired thumbnail size. It integrates seamlessly with Flutter's asset handling and image display widgets. This tool simplifies the process of creating visual representations of videos without requiring complex native code.

Use cases

  • Generating video previews in media apps
  • Creating thumbnails for video galleries
  • Enhancing user experience in video streaming apps
  • Automating thumbnail creation during video upload
  • Displaying video cover images in list views

Key features

  • Extracts frames from video files
  • Supports Android and iOS platforms
  • Customizable thumbnail size
  • Simple integration with Flutter UI
  • Efficient video processing with minimal overhead

Suitable for

  • Flutter developers building video applications
  • Apps requiring automated thumbnail generation
  • Media management and content preview features
  • Projects with video upload and display workflows

Considerations

  • Requires proper permissions for file access on mobile platforms
  • May have performance impact with large video files
  • Limited to static thumbnail extraction (no real-time processing)
  • Depends on native platform libraries for video decoding

  add_thumbnail: ^0.0.1

2. Import library in dart file
import 'package:add_thumbnail/add_thumbnail.dart';
3. How to use FilterList
Create of list of MediaInfo object
  List<MediaInfo> mediaList = [];
Create List of String
List<String> urlList = ["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv54ec8Pg1k"];
Create async function and call Thumbnail.addLink()

    // Open  thumbnail dialog to add link
    await Thumbnail.addLink(
      context: context,
      /// callback that return thumbnail information in `MediaInfo` object
       onLinkAdded: (mediaInfo) {
        if (mediaInfo != null && mediaInfo.thumbnailUrl.isNotEmpty) {
          setState(() {
            mediaList.add(mediaInfo);
          });
        }
      },
    );
  }
Create MediaList widget to show thumbnail list
Widget getMediaList() {
    return MediaListView(

        print(url);
      },

      backgroundColor: Color(0xFFEEEEEE),
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body:(mediaList == null || mediaList.isEmpty) && (urlList == null || urlList.isEmpty)
          ? Center(
              child: Text(
                "Press add button to add thumbnail.",
