I'm looking for a simple way to grab thumbnails of FLVs in ASP.NET, without having to change any permissions/settings on the server. Ideally, nothing is installed on the server machine, but if necessary, small tools such as FFmpeg are fine.
I've tried FFmpeg using the command-line tool with Process.Start, but the same command that works in a Windows Forms application and from the command prompt does not work in ASP.NET (presumably because of permissions).
I've also tried using TAO.FFmpeg, and it seems to be working most of the time, but fails randomly, and does not start working again until the machine is restarted. Even when I use the sample code (decoder.cs), it sometimes fails when I try to open multiple videos in a single request.
If this isn't possible in a clean/straightforward way, I'm open to other suggestions.
