Eventually I'd love to move the thumbnail creation to build time.
This could be done similarly to the screenshot creation in gatsby-node.js.
The advantage would be that we don't have to run the thumbnail generation on the client.
I think this is a bit outside of the scope of this PR, so let me know if you want to get this in or if we should tackle that at a later point in time.

@mre I'd like to understand whether you want the thumbnails to be downloaded as images or are you referring creation of the thumbnail links at the time of build? Please let me know.

Ideally we should download the thumbnails as images yes.
Guess you could copy-and-paste this section in the config and replace screenshot with thumbnail.

Then wherever you need the thumbnail you can use it as a field similar to the screenshot field:

Not sure if that's understandable. If not I can add a commit and we can have a look.

@mre Can you please help me out with a npm package that can download thumbnails? I'm trying to work on this actually and so far I was unable to find any. Also, please let me know if I can utilise the code from screenshot.js for downloading thumbnails - I'm trying this as you suggested previously.

Oh you can totally use your thumbnail code. You could have a thumbnail.js with your code next to screenshot.js and then call that code from gatsby.node.js like above; so something like:
// This could return a dictionary of `{ "<resouce_url>": "<thumbnail_path>" }` or so.
// Alternatively we return `node.resources` with one more field `thumbnail` per entry.
const thumbnails = await getThumbnails(node.resources)
if (thumbnails) {
createNodeField({
node,
name: `thumbnails`,
value: thumbnails,
})

Seems like I'm in the right path already, I'll get back to you if I'm stuck. Thanks :)

@mre I've updated the code in this PR. I apologise for the delay.
I tried to put the thumbnail related data under node.resources. However, I couldn't figure it out. Hence, I went with the approach for which you already gave an example. I'm using image-downloader package to download the thumbnails at the build time. I hope that this would sort out all the issues.
Please let me know if further changes are required.

For some reason the video thumbnails sometimes don't work for me.
After a reload or two it starts to work again
I'm on Firefox. On Chrome it always works. 🤷 |

Thanks for pointing these out, I'll work on the changes requested. |

analysis-tools-dev/website-next#23 (comment) @mre For some reason, I'm unable to reproduce this issue. Tried multiple times with the Firefox browser in my machine. However, it worked all the time. Is there any particular way, I can reproduce this issue? |
Huh, just tried again and it now also works on my machine. Odd. Sorry for the fuzz; was probably an issue on my side. 😕 |
|
Wondering if it was my ad-blocker that was causing that because it was broken in Firefox (where I use uBlock Origin) and not on Chrome where I use... nothing, actually. 💭 |
