Thumbnail upload from remote url (s3 bucket)

Suggestions & Feature Request Hub
1

I would like to have the thumbnail to a video uploaded with the source being a remote https url. For example, I am creating a video using the python api.video client in my aws lamda function and right after the uplaod I have to upload the thumbnail to that video, according to the documentation the thumbnail can only be uploaded as a local disk file path. Can this feature be implemented? It is available in some competitors like JWplayer. Or the file content can be uploaded if not via the remote url?

You can always use urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename)

to download the thumbnail temporarily OR

from urllib.request import urlopen 
import base64

base64.b64encode(urlopen("http://xxx/yyy/abc.jpg").read())

then pass

data:image/png;name=somefilename.png;base64, + what was encoded

as your file.

Last option is to pick a timecode if you know that…

video_id = "vi4k0jvEUuaTdRAEjQ4Jfrgz" # str | Unique identifier of the video you want to add a thumbnail to, where you use a section of your video as the thumbnail.
    video_thumbnail_pick_payload = VideoThumbnailPickPayload(
        timecode="04:80:72",
    )

Thanks @ronald for your response.

In my Firebase Function (Node), I tried two different ways and both returns “must be a readable source file”

const url = "***.jpg""
let image = await axios.get(myImageUrl, { responseType: "arraybuffer" });
let returnedData = Buffer.from(image.data).toString();
const file = Readable.from(returnedData);
await apiVideoClient.liveStreams
  .uploadThumbnail(result.liveStreamId, file)
  .then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    throw new functions.https.HttpsError("aborted", error.message);
  });


const url = "***.jpg""
const fileName = data.image.split("/").slice(-1)[0];
let image = await axios.get(myUrl, { responseType: "arraybuffer" });
let returnedB64 = Buffer.from(image.data).toString("base64");
const file =
  "data:@file/jpeg;name=myfilename.jpg;base64," + returnedB64;
await apiVideoClient.liveStreams
  .uploadThumbnail(result.liveStreamId, file)
  .then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    throw new functions.https.HttpsError("aborted", error.message);
  });
