Check if video has PREVIEW THUMBNAILS

[rechigo 294]

With C# SDK, how can I check if a BaseItem has Preview/Thumbnail/bif images generated & available for use?

I'm not at my desk right now but there should be something like a item.GetThumbnails

[rechigo 294]

Could not find any method like that, searched for a lot of key words and did not find anything

 

Is this something I need to get with library manager or another interface?

Is it in ImageService

 

/Items/{Id}/Images/{Type}

 

Type - thumb ?

[rechigo 294]

No, sorry, I am talking about the geting the BIF images via C# (not via HTTP requests)

 

The bif images are used to display a graphical preview when scrubbing:

Ok,   namespace RokuMetadata.Api,   internal class ThumbnailSetInfo

 

No idea how to use.  So can't help - sorry.

That looks like it's for the old Roku BIF plugin before it was moved into the server core

There are some static methods on Video, Video.GetThumbnailSetInfos. The api is not super friendly because I wasn't planning for this type of usage, but it can always be adjusted.
