Nextcloud pdf and video preview

[nebulon]

Thanks for the reply. I have created an issue with the app package repo, so we can fix this with the next package release https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/nextcloud-app/issues/74

Had a look at this issue now. Nextcloud enable_previews setting is true by default - https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/18/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html#previews . In a new installation, I can see thumbnails generated for images and text documents. PDF and Document previews are not generated as outlined in the docs.

For PDF previews, please follow the docs - https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/nextcloud/#previews

@girish thank you. work like a charm.

@byspy did you manage to sort video previews too?

[girish]

@jdaviescoates It seems to work here atleast. What video file are you trying?

[jdaviescoates]

@girish oh, no particular video file, but given you said in Nextcloud pdf and video preview:

For PDF previews, please follow the docs - https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/nextcloud/#previews

I wasn't sure if that covered video too (and not just PDF as mentioned), but now actually looking at that link I see that it includes the code for loads of different previews, thanks, I'll give it a try!

I have only PDF and video MP4 and work perfect.

Whilst trying to paste that code in I've managed to mess up my config file (and stupidly didn't download a copy beforehand).

Easiest way to get it back to original state?

Thanks!

I restored a backup from 8 hours ago.

Now to try again... But asting into the web console doesn't seem to work properly (perhaps a bug?), so will try downloading, editing and then uploading or something...

All sorted now
