Is there a way to get a Discord video (attachment) thumbnail?

hii, is there a way to get a Discord video (attachment) thumbnail, I found something that maybe can work but it didn't work so I'm here, here's my current code:

client.on('messageCreate', async message => {
    const prefix = "tr.";
    const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
    const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
    if(message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(prefix))
      {
        if(command === "test"){

            const videoUrl = 'https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/882020253129928744/1088897611584520262/images_1.mp4';

            VideoResolver.resolve(videoUrl).then(videoInfo => {
              const embed = new MessageEmbed()
                .setTitle('video')
                .setImage(videoInfo.thumbnail.url)
                .setURL(videoUrl);
              message.channel.send({ embeds: [embed] });
            }).catch(error => {
              console.error(error);
            });
        }
    }
})

client.on('messageCreate', async message => {
    const prefix = "tr.";
    const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
    const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
    if(message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(prefix))
      {
        if(command === "test"){

            const videoUrl = 'https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/882020253129928744/1088897611584520262/images_1.mp4';

            VideoResolver.resolve(videoUrl).then(videoInfo => {
              const embed = new MessageEmbed()
                .setTitle('video')
                .setImage(videoInfo.thumbnail.url)
                .setURL(videoUrl);
              message.channel.send({ embeds: [embed] });
            }).catch(error => {
              console.error(error);
            });
        }
    }
})

sorry if my question doesn't seem to make sense

you cannot have videos in embeds only images

TRKakoOP•2y ago

no, i don't want to put a video in embed I want to get his thumbail and put that in .setImage()

Idris•2y ago

ah ok well if videoInfo.thumbnail.url correctly returns an image url it should try to console.log it

VideoResolver.resolve(videoUrl).then(videoInfo => {
                                      ^

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'resolve')

TRKakoOP•2y ago

do you think there's a way to do this using discord.js FeelsBadMan

Idris•2y ago

do you really think you could get a YouTube video with a Discord API wrapper?

TRKakoOP•2y ago

no, I mean, I want to get thumbnail of a video but a Discord video, no youtube, like this

chewie•2y ago

considering that you don't get any useful data besides the attachment name, url etc. I doubt you can really you probably have to download the video and go from there
