imdb-thumbnailer - Video thumbnails in gnome / nautilus. (SOLVED)

I installed imdb-thumbnailer from aur and I have just this in $HOME/.imdb-thumbnailer/config :

films_path[1]=/home/user/Videos

Actually I do get some thumbnails. But just for some video files. It seems that imdb-thumbnailer only works
if the video has the 'cover art inside it' (sorry for my broken english), then imdb-thumbnailer/nautilus shows
that 'cover art'. For other video files it just doesn't show anything besides the default icon theme.

The help mention about figuritas=add and figuritas=bind. I don't understand what 'figuritas' is.

I always thought gnome/nautilus showed thumbnails by default. I used Arch two years ago
always with fluxbox, openbox and xmonad, with pcmanfm as file browser.

Any help and thoughts are welcome.

EDIT: Heres something you might be happy reading: (not that the mentioned distro
is not good, but just for your information):
I used a custom minimal installation of ubuntu, with only Xorg and lxde-core,
and it used to eat 350mb of ram. Now, I'm in Arch with gnome, lots of  effects
enables in compiz, and it is eating 157mb of ram. Incredible!!

borschty on #Gnome, freenode, helped me.

I checked archwiki and read that totem package comes with 'Video thumbnailer for the file manager'.

I installed totem. Didn't work yet. Then I rm -Rv ~/thumbnails and run
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers (other advise from borschty). Reopened the
~/Videos dir, and the thumbnails were there.
