Server-side prepared thumbnails for images, videos, ... ready to be downloaded to the clients about core

[bartv2]

The gallery app already has something for generating thumbnails, maybe that is reusable

I have a simple thumbnail generation/caching method in contacts_rework https://github.com/owncloud/apps/blob/contacts_rework/contacts/lib/app.php#L270
To access them without loading all apps for each thumbnail I made a remote service https://github.com/owncloud/apps/blob/contacts_rework/contacts/appinfo/info.xml#L15 https://github.com/owncloud/apps/blob/contacts_rework/contacts/templates/contacts.php#L101

This would be really good for the Files app as well, to have proper thumbnails instead of just file names and generic icons. Any progress @tanghus, would it make sense to put it in core?

I´m building a general thumbnail lib at the moment

It´s actually not a duplicate. This bug is talking about an API to fetch thumbnails from the server. #205 is only the internal library that I´m building

All of this is related to this Google Code-in task mentored by @BartoszPrzybylski: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7974215

Does #4022 deal with this?

BTW the result of the Google Code-in task is https://github.com/RixTox/owncloud-thumbnail

Hello,

As @Kondou-ger , I think it's related to #4022 and then with owncloud-archive/apps#1095

Android app should benefit from that too (see owncloud/android#59 , owncloud/android#239)

Perhaps we could merge these topics into one single topic?

Thank you!

Hey, I think this (the server core part) is solved in the web interface of oc 6. Great ! Thank you for implementing it.

I reported that issue. And close it now.

Hello @Wikinaut

Do you know if it's possible, for a mobile app for example, to ask the server to send a thumbnail of a picture with dimensions adapted to the screen? For example 720 x 1280. Or is there another topic where this is discussed?

Thanks!
