ACThumbnailGenerator is an easy-to-use Swift utility for extracting still images (as UIImage) from remote video streams (e.g. HLS/.m3u8 streams) on iOS apps.

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

var generator: ACThumbnailGenerator!

func captureSomeImage() {
    let streamUrl = URL(string: "https://p-events-delivery.akamaized.net/18oijbasfvuhbfsdvoijhbsdfvljkb6/m3u8/hls_vod_mvp.m3u8")!
    generator = ACThumbnailGenerator(streamUrl: streamUrl)
    generator.delegate = self
    generator.captureImage(at: 300)
}

func generator(_ generator: ACThumbnailGenerator, didCapture image: UIImage, at position: Double) {
    // Use `image`
}

ACThumbnailGenerator-Swift is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
