Get mp4 files from directory and show in datatable.

I have the following to obtain the file list.

<?php
echo "Here are our files";
$path = ".";
$dh = opendir($path);
$i=1;
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
    if($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "index.php" && $file != ".htaccess" && $file != "error_log" && $file != "cgi-bin") {
        echo "<a href='$path/$file'>$file</a><br /><br />";
        $i++;
    }
}
closedir($dh);
?> 

I now need to show a thumbnail of each video in a cell with a start stop buttons for each video.

Anyone already done this ?

Cheers

First thing to do would be to extract a thumbnail for each video. That is well outside the scope of DataTables I'm afraid. I'd suggest checking out vlc's command line or libav.
