Sometimes the thumbnail isn’t generated properly!

    Hello,

    I’ve set videopack to automaticly generate thumbnails, but unfortuanly with certain videos the thumbnail isn’t generated. The file for the thumbnail is created at 0 Byte size.

    I get the following errors from debug.log:

    [20-Jun-2022 13:04:53 UTC] PHP Notice:  getimagesize(): Error reading from /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/asdasd-3_thumb2.jpg! in /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-includes/media.php on line 5189
[20-Jun-2022 13:04:53 UTC] PHP Notice:  exif_imagetype(): Error reading from /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/asdasd-3_thumb2.jpg! in /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3265

    but these errors are simply because the thumbnail file is being saved with 0 Byte size.

    How can debug this?

    Thank you.

    Does that happen consistently with the same videos? If you delete and re-upload a video do you get the same error? Could you give me a link to one of the videos you’ve had a problem with?

    It was fixed when I set to generate 1 thumbnail from 0% of the way through the video.

    But while we’re at it, I’m trying to generate a thumbnail for uploaded images as well as videos, and I found out that if I create an attachement for the image with the post_mime_type set as ‘video/png’ videopack actually generates the thumbnail of the image and sets the watermark, but if the image is a jpg it doesn’t work which is strange.

    Setting it to 0% is a good idea. It’s possible FFMPEG is having trouble seeking through those videos.

    I never thought of using Videopack to add watermarks to images, which is why you have to do workarounds like changing the mime type. I think there are probably better solutions out there for images. Easy Watermark seems like a popular choice.
