XFCE / Thunar: Video thumbnails not shown
Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2017 3:29 am
[PROBLEM]
Fresh Xubuntu 16.04.3 (64bit) install. Some videos that I knew had thumbnails in 12.04 didn't have them now in Thunar anymore.
Some did. Some didn't. Mostly affected were non-free (e.g. patented) formats like MPEG-4/H.264
[SOLUTION]
Install the ffmpegthumbnailer:
And gstreamer codecs:
Now all videos should have thumbnails generated

Install the ffmpegthumbnailer:
Code: Select all
$ sudo apt-get install ffmpegthumbnailerThen close all open Thunar windows.gstreamer1.0-plugins-good - GStreamer plugins from the "good" set
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad - GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set
