Thanks for that! (Speaking

Problem with using mefeedia's archive code is that it does not consistently show thumbnails for all videos. Why do some vlogs don't have pics, and others do not. That's been an ongoing problem for a long, long time.

Our thumbnail generating code got a bit behind, but it will catch up soon.

Thumbnail generation is a very CPU intensive process.
Mefeedia's server must download your videos, extract thumbs and save
them, then remove the video. Not to mention there are often errors due
to various video codecs and the fact that it can be hard to decode all
types and extract images.
Even Ya
Thanks for that much more robust response than I was able to come up with :)

i understand all that
but do the math:
there are less than 2000 feeds as of today
i think 500 videos per feed is grossly over estimating most people's
*average* output
that's 100,000 thumbs
we have been told that they have been generating them for several weeks
(months?) now
let's assume on
dropped a zero there obviously
but the argument stands

I don't know the specifics of MeFeedia's server setup or queueing mechanism.
I don't know if its able to fail gracefully and move on when it encounters errors.
There are lots of video codecs out there -- not every QT, WMV, AVI, etc. are made equally.

I am still getting ramped up on all the inner workings, but it isn't a
perfect system yet, still being refined and it is possible that the
script went had troubles with some decoding, or missed a post.
I'll see if I can dig up some numbers on how many feeds are being

Another part of the problem might be that we got all excited about
it, including making videos of it, before it was really a "feature"
of Mefeedia.

What is required to set a poster frame? Does it require QuickTime Pro?
Can it be done with iMovie or Metadata Hootenanny or some other apps?

Its really easy with QT Pro:
Open your movie in QT Pro - Drag the play head to the frame you wish
to set as the thumbnail image - Go to View->Set Poster Frame - Go to
File->Save, and choose to save movie as self contained
I'm pretty sure there is a similar menu option somewhere in iMovie.

Josh,
Just curious: If a QT .mov has a poster frame set, is there any way to
read & save *that image?
Don't know anything about the thumbnail extraction / saving of which
you speak, Josh, but seems to me it would be a less of a resource hog
to go that way.
Or am I blowing smoke out an orific
Yes, this is what we do in FireAnt on Windows.
There is a quicktime API function to get the poster frame image.
But, not every movie on the web is Quicktime. In fact probably around
50% or less.
Again, I can't speak for MeFeedia because I don't know the nature of
their setup.
