Generating thumbnails for movies from iTunes file sharing data? - mpmovieplayercontroller

i´m using the itunes file sharing feature to import customized data from the user.
I need to play videos when tapping on a customized UIButton. Therefore i want to know if its possible to set a thumbnail image from a video to each instance of MyButton.
I´ve played already with the MPMoviePlayerController and its "thumbnailImageAtTime:timeOption" function. It works great after selecting and playing that one video. But i need to generate thumbnails for all videos before.
When syncing videos on any iOS device via itunes, apple generates thumbnails for the camera roll instantly. So thats the way i´m looking for.. Any ideas how apple is doing it?

I´ve got it. Using the AVFoundationFramework with "AVAssetImageGenerator" ;)

Has anyone experimented with getting a video played on a mini app? On the Alipay site there is some documentation, still wanted to post the question

Wanted to know if any of you guys have played around with getting a video to play in a mini app? I have looked at some of the Alipay documentation and from what I can see there is only one supported platform to upload a video to in order to use within the mini app...
You cant get videos to play in native mini programs because the tag is not currently supported.
You could get videos to play by making use of the web-view which points to a website which hosts the video

Share videos camera roll wp 8

I tired to googling that how share videos form camera roll in windows phone 8 like in Nokia video upload and facebook app. I used to try this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff967563(v=vs.105).aspx
Only share picture but I want to share only videos for my app e.g. when my app show in list when share a video by camera roll of windows phone in sharing
To quote the link you included in your question:
Note that this extensibility is only available when the photo is a JPG
file.
And from my experience, I can confirm that it is not possible to register your app as a share target for a video file.
In other words, if a user tries to share a video from the camera roll or another app, there is no way to make your app appear as one of the options in that list.
Did you try using the share media task function?
Check this article out from the msdn :

You can use MediaLibrary and there is already an answer for your question in this link. As said, there is no way to select existing sound media and video files through default choosers. Thank you.

Can I get the video file in Camera roll on window phone?

As I know, there is no way to get the video file in the camera roll.
But recently I did it when using updated WhatsApp.
Wahtsapp supportes video file uploading which is not in saved IsolatedStroage in wp7/wp8 devices.
How did it?
Now I'm researching but can't find.
Please help me.
There is still no documented API for loading existing videos.
From WPCentral:
The ability to send videos has been in WhatsApp for quite some time,
but an OS limitation prevented the app from accessing the media
library to fetch pre-recorded videos. Since early 2013 though, Nokia
has been working with the WhatsApp developers and it looks like it
paid off to have friends in high places. Through Nokia’s assistance
(and indirectly, Microsoft’s), WhatsApp now has permission to grab
videos from your library to send to friends.

Please see: Is there a way I can capture my iPhone screen as a video?
This post describes many ways to capture video. It looks like there isn't a completely intuitive way to record the video, but this post lists some of the options others have used for their applications.
