Public bug reported: to make ffmpegthumbnailer works after installation I had to create the file /usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpeg.thumbnailer and add there this code:
[Thumbnailer Entry] TryExec=ffmpegthumbnailer Exec=ffmpegthumbnailer -s %s -i %u -o %o -c png -f -t 10 MimeType=video/flv;video/webm;video/mkv;video/mp4;video/mpeg;video/avi;video/ogg;video/quicktime;video/x-avi;video/x-flv;video/x-mp4;video/x-mpeg;video/x-webm;video/x-mkv;application/x-extension-webm;video/x-matroska;video/x-ms-wmv;video/x-msvideo;video/x-msvideo/avi;video/x-theora/ogg;video/x-theora/ogv;video/x-ms-asf;video/x-m4v; ffmpegthumbnailer don't show thumbnails for video files which have cyrillic symbols into the name. generally that problem occurs even for some video files without cyrillic symbols, in this case I didn't match any regularity. ffmpegthumbnailer 2.0.7-2 Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) x64 Linux 3.5.0-27-generic GNOME 3.6.0 Nautilus 3.6.3 Screenshot http://s2.ipicture.ru/uploads/20130417/oROQbeSG.png ** Affects: ffmpegthumbnailer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169918 Title: ffmpegthumbnailer don't work with cyrillic file's name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpegthumbnailer/+bug/1169918/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
