Media: Video and PDF Thumbnails
Problem
Currently users cannot only a see an icon for a video and for a pdf. This makes it difficult for a user to quickly differentiate between multiple video tiles and pdf tile cards.
Solution
Hence we want to introduce a visual thumbnail so that is easier for the user to differentiate between files.
We want to start providing thumbnail previews for:
High Priority Videos (.mov, .mp4, .avi) PDFs
Very Low Priority Powerpoint Word Docs Excel Docs
Questions
Can we implement this? Will this need a new field added to the end point? This could be added to the endpoint but could users also update the thumbnail after uploading the file? If yes, then a new API just for updating the thumbnail will be needed How complex would this be? This would require an additional field in the database (thumbnailURL)
@zcolah I'd like to elevate this issue. As the preview icon when a user uploads a pdf file makes it look like the resource or reference is broken
Also noting that this is how it displays in the table view for content items. The "Media Content" column has PDFs selected for the top 2 items but it looks like a broken reference
@giseleblair we cannot provide a PDF preview thank you raising this issue. I have raised it in the past and been informed that we currently do not have the resources to prioritize showing an exact thumbnail preview of a PDF and video.
However we should be showing a PDF and Video Icon for these items in the Media Field and in the table and I will make a ticket for the same.
yes an icon would be ideal, no need to preview the actual content. For example, the PDF icon in the Media modal is great.
Issue made for it and added to the main media ticket coming up soon https://github.com/zesty-io/manager-ui/issues/2448
