   Hi guys, 
   
   I have a question regarding the creation of video thumbnails. I am uploading videos to sitefinity video gallery via Sitefinity API and i was wondering how I can upload a custom image via API for the video I am uploading. I have investigated but haven't found something about this topic. 
   
   Hope you can help me.
   
   Thanks.

   Thanks for answering, i included the OALPCustom in my project and I noticed that the Thumbnail.Data is obsolete, and it says that  "Since version 6.1 the blob data is stored in the Blob Storage for the MediaContent". Also the method CreateThumbnail is obsolete.

   Is there a way to upload the video thumbnails using the blob storage?

   Thanks,

   Dehivis.

   Hi,
   Please observe following sample for uploading an image (green.png) as a thumbnail to a video (SampleVideo).
   
   

   var manager = LibrariesManager.GetManager();

   var id = manager.GetVideos().Where(v => v.Title == "SampleVideo").First().Id;

   var thumbnailData = File.OpenRead("C:\\temp\\green.png");

   using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())

   {

       thumbnailData.CopyTo(ms);

       var data = ms.ToArray();

       manager.UpdateThumbnail(id, data);

   }

   manager.SaveChanges();
