Or you can also use Glide to create thumbnail of video from url

 RequestOptions requestOptions = new RequestOptions();
 requestOptions.placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder_card_view);
 requestOptions.error(R.drawable.placeholder_card_view);

  Glide.with(getContext())
       .load(path)
       .apply(requestOptions)
       .thumbnail(Glide.with(getContext()).load(path))
       .into(ivVideoThumbnail);

Is it possible to Generate a thumbnail from a video url in android

It is not possible to create thumbnail from steaming link, you have to show it from server. Better upload a thumbnail along the video.
Use the below code to generate thumbnail

Bitmap bitmap = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail("picturePath", MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);

Create thumbnail from selected video and store it in server

You can create VideoThumbnail from sdcard path like this.

Bitmap thumb = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(filePath, Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);

Using ThumbnailUtils, you can create thumbnail of two types.

MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND type will generate thumbnail of size 96 x 96.
MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND type will generate thumbnail of size 512 x 384.

After creating the thumbnail you can upload the bitmap created directly to server giving the bitmap's reference that has been genereated.

create thumbnail from video URL in C#

Using NReco to Create Video Thumbnail:

I found my problem:

1: I have not used Server.MapPath. I had just entered relativePath.

2: it is not necessary the Video file be local it can be hosted someWhere else.
NReco just download the desired portion of video then extract the Thumbnail.
your Video file should be in localHost directory of your local server. I mean if your site is under development and video file is in your local Computer folder it WON'T Work because NReco requires byte range support in HTTP response Header file.

Unacceptable Link: "http://localhost:81882/content/AVSEQ01.mp4"

so for my local test, I have moved my video file to Local IIS directory : ‪C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AVSEQ01.mp4

//sample remote video file
//string videoUrl = "http://phytonord.com/Film-Series/peik%20sahar/1.mp4";

 //local video file
string localVideoFile = "http://localhost/AVSEQ01.mp4"
var ffMpeg = new NReco.VideoConverter.FFMpegConverter();
string thumbnailJPEGpath = Server.MapPath("~/Content/videoThumb.jpg");
ffMpeg.GetVideoThumbnail(videoUrl, thumbnailJPEGpath);
