Get thumbnails with transcoding API

Loop

Would be great to optionally set an option when using the transcoding API to also generate thumbnails. If possible, it'd be nice to specify the storage location (like with the video) for the thumbnails.

This would be a game changer. We have been reluctant to use Livepeer because of this. Any idea when this could go into motion? Hunter Hillman

This is a great callout and a clear gap. Can you share how you'd like to generate these thumbnails? are you looking to specify a timestamp, or get a vtt file with many thumbnails (e.g. for scrubbing)?

Hunter Hillman scrubbing with thumbnail previews across the time slider is the goal. a vtt file with many thumbnails sounds great. thanks for the response!
