Here is some wild thinking, that may be completely off-base. I believe HTTP requests can use a range, so in theory, you could request just the first X number of bytes from a file. This would allow for grabbing just a portion of a video and saving that out. Now, the next issue is, will that file be a valid enough file to generate a thumbnail from? Time for some testing...
