Get thumbnail from authenticated video

Hello,

Is it possible to generate a thumbnail from an authenticated uploaded video without any transformations?

I create the signature using the publicID + API Secret since I do not need any transformations. 

The resulting URL that includes the signature and the adjusted file extension (from .mp4 to .jpg) results in a 404.

 

Thanks for your help!

  Hey Bryce,

  The extension in of the URL should also be included when signing the reuqest, so you should adjust your public_id part of the signature to also include the extension in the string before you base64 encode it, so for example if you have a video with a public id of "sample-video", you should actually sign "sample-video.jpg".
  
  Wanna give it a try and update here on whether this has solved the issue for you?
  
  Thanks,
  Raz
