[Red5devs] Taking a snapshot from a live video feed

Hi everybody!

There are some topics about taking snapshots from a video stream on the 
client using ActionScript 3, converting it into a ByteArray, encoding, 
uploading, etc...

My question is about how to extract a jpeg image from a stream in the 
Red5 server, better in the webapp itself.
The streams are published as "live", so there will be no file on the 
disk I can operate with. Otherwise I would use ffmpeg to take a snapshot...

Is there a way to create a jpeg from the flv data in Red5? Where is the 
point I have to start looking?

Thanks in advance,
Valentin
