Hi there!
I'm trying to get thumbnails working for webm-videos in Thunar.
ffmpegthumbnailer is installed, for most videos I'm getting thumbnails, except webm.
ffmpegthumbnailer -i file.webm -o test_thumbnail.png
is also working correctly. I've tried to add "video/webm" to '/usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer', but that didn't work.
Any idea how to solve this?

It's a limitation of Tumbler. I just change the container from WebM to Matroska:
ffmpeg -i name-of-the-video.webm -acodec copy -vcodec copy name-of-the-video.mkv
The audio and video streams are copied, and not modified in any way, so it takes almost no time and there's no quality loss at all.

Thank you! That works perfectly!
Edit: here's a little script to do this for all files in a directory:
#!/bin/bash
for i in *.webm
do
ffmpeg -i "$i" -acodec copy -vcodec copy "${i%.webm}.mkv"
done
