Video to Image Thumbnails using CollectionFS in Meteor.JS

[manusharma1]

Hi All,

I am using Meteor CollectionFS in one of my projects, When I Use Image Uploads the thumbnails are getting generated.

Is it possible to create thumbnails for Videos using gm?

I am curious as I found one answer for it at : http://superuser.com/questions/599348/can-imagemagick-make-thumbnails-from-video

But how to use it in Meteor CollectionFS?

Here is what I am trying to do with Video Uploads

VideoFileCollection = new FS.Collection("VideoFileCollection", {
    stores: [
      new FS.Store.FileSystem("videos", {path: "/uploads/videos"}),
      new FS.Store.FileSystem("videosthumbs", {path: "/uploads/videosthumbs",
        beforeWrite: function(fileObj) {
          // We return an object, which will change the
          // filename extension and type for this store only.
          return {
            extension: 'png',
            type: 'image/png'
          };
        },
        transformWrite: function(fileObj, readStream, writeStream) {
          gm(readStream, fileObj.name()).convert(10).stream('PNG').pipe(writeStream);

        }
      })
    ]
});

What I am getting is this :

Under "videos" folder video is getting successfully uploaded

But under "videosthumbs" folder I am getting a 0 Byte PNG image

The issue is that how to convert video formats to thumbnails?

Please advise the solution.

Waiting for your response.

Thanks and Regards
