Thumbnail support gone?

[israelroldan]

Previously it was possible to select a thumbnail using the plugin, value that would be stored in the video document to be consumed as any other property.

This seems to have disappeared with the new version. Are there any plans to bring it back?

Thanks!

+1, this is a pretty important feature!

Agreed, any word on this?

Why was this removed? We used this during production. It would be greatly appreciated if this was possible again.

Automatic thumbnail generation and ability to select the timecode to use for the thumbnail was the primary reason that I adopted Mux and this plugin. Has the removal of this feature been documented anywhere?

FWIW I made my own solution to display an animated gif thumbnail for list previews of items with a mux video.

This is part of a coverVideo.tsx schema file for an object that contains a 'muxVideo' field of the type 'mux.video'. Add the necessary parts of this to your usual object schema file where a mux.video field type is being used.

type: 'object',
  name: 'coverVideo',
  preview: {
    select: {
      // previews can follow references using dot notation like below
      playbackId: 'muxVideo.asset.playbackId',
    },
    prepare({playbackId}) {
      return {
        // I'm using a small animated thumbnail from Mux - https://docs.mux.com/guides/get-images-from-a-video
        media: <img src={`https://image.mux.com/${playbackId}/animated.gif?width=100`} />,
      }
    }
  },

In my real application this is inside a custom preview component with the img generation wrapped in useMemo so it's not constantly updating as Sanity is used (at least that's my understanding - I'm new to react).
