Vid coming Soon!

Code:

<?php
// (c)J~Net 2021
// jnet.sytes.net
// https://jnet.forumotion.com/t1726-creat-thumbnails-from-videos-php-code#2674
$pathToDir="/var/www/html/xxx/vids";
$folder="path/1";
$extensions=array('mp4','webm','avi');
$result=array();
$directory=new DirectoryIterator("$folder");
//
foreach ($directory as $fileinfo) {
    // must be a file
    if ($fileinfo->isFile()) {
        // file extension
$extension=strtolower(pathinfo($fileinfo->getFilename(), PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
        // check if extension match
        if(in_array($extension, $extensions)) {
            // add to result
            //$result[]=$fileinfo->getFilename();
            $vidfile=$fileinfo->getFilename();;
            // my custom links
            $Full="$pathToDir/$folder/$vidfile";
            $lname=substr($Full, 0, -4);
            echo "<p>$Full</p>";
            if(!file_exists($lname-thumbnail.png)) {
            $command="/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i ".$Full." -vf fps=1/60 ".$lname."-thumbnail.png"; // %03d
//   system($command);
            shell_exec($command);
            //echo "<p>Thumbnail Created!<br></p>";
//  $links .= '<a href="play.php?r='.$fileinfo->getFilename().'">'.$lname.'</a> <p>';
            echo "<p>Missing Thumbnail Created!<br></p>";
            }
        }
    }
}
?>


This will generate png for web servers (apache for example)
 using video files in given folder / directory
