Nice Work!

[themaayur (Mayur Berad)]

You can’t use it with YouTube url or any videos platform.
It only works with direct media links
For eg : https://www.abc.xyz.com/hello.mp4

[Ottoman (Muhammad Usman)]

Can I use this for creating listview. Like YouTube RecyclerView Gets Videos Thumbnail in milliseconds (depends on Internet connection).

[themaayur (Mayur Berad)]

I never tried it you can try it.

@AI_Developer
