SwiftyDropbox getting image/video thumbnail
I'm trying to get a thumbnail but seem to receive the path to the original image/video. What am I doing wrong?
client.files.getThumbnail(path: file.pathLower).response{ response, error in
if let response = response, let thumbnailPath = response.0.pathLower {
print("Thumbnail: \(thumbnailPath), original: \(self.file.pathLower), size: \(response.0.size)")
}
}Prints (for a photo):
Thumbnail: /foto.jpg, original: /foto.jpg, size: 131816
Prints (for a video):
Thumbnail: /test/20170408_134934.mp4, original: /test/20170408_134934.mp4, size: 65015200
The files.getThumbnail call is a "download-style request", like files.download. The response.0 will be the original file metadata, so response.0.pathLower is the original file path. To get the data for the thumbnail, you should use response.1, like in the files.download example here:
