Take screenshot of a Video online?

January 28th, 2020

Hello,
I have a Video uploaded on my server, I don’t have it on my PC is there any way that I could get a screenshot of this Movie ? Just a site where I put the URL of the video and it generates a screenshot?
Thanks

Pause it at the frame you want the screen shot of, hit print screen, then crop.

I think he means, the video is stored in a server (or something) and he’s wanted to get a screenshot. I dont think he’s talking about a streamed video like youtube etc…

no alternative that i know of other than downloading unless you open the file in your video player using the Open URL function then streaming it just enough to get a screenshot. if you’re using FTP then this would be your URL to open:
ftp://[username]:[password]@[server]/[path]/[file]
EXAMPLE:
ftp://:mypassword@mywebsite.com/myfiles/videos/myvideo.avi
This may work depending on many factors – the two major ones being the server config and your media player’s config

What is the OS in Server.
I’ve a Debian 5 on my Server and I can run VLC there.
