[Solved] Unable to use ffmpegthumbnailer with videos

Hi,

I'd really like to use the ffmpegthumbnailer with my videos to replace the normal video icons. However neither installing totem or ffmpegthumbnailer works as when I open Gconf and go to 'apps > gnome > thumbnailers' and look for those video@foo keys, there are no keys in them!

Manually creating boolean key 'enable' and string key 'command' - 'ffmpegthumbnailer -i %i -o %o -s %s -f -t 15' won't work as when I click on those keys I created the key infos say "This key has no schema" but the 'command' key also says "This key is not writable" (screenies: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3677 … ration.png, http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/3677/s … ration.png).

So any ideas how can I make my video thumbnailers work?

- Thanks

I thought this was already solved and I marked this as [solved] for a sec.

So whatever, I rebuilt thunar, thunar-archive-plugin, thunar-media-tags-plugin, thunar-thumbnailers, ffmpeg-thumbnailer, nautilus, pcmanfm with abs but that only made the video thumbnails to work with Thunar and Nautilus.

So I still need to make this work with PCManFM, but anyway thanks for your help so far .

Where did you get the idea PCManFM supports thumbnails ?
