the start of the file? 
    

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...
