I'm trying to get video thumbnails to show in thunar, I tried installing thunar-thumbnailers, and recompiled thunar-svn with --disable-gnome-thumbnailers removed, tried compiling with --enable-gnome-thumbnailers, ran /usr/lib/thunar-vfs-update-thumbnailers everytime, but none of the method seems to work
I installed totem also but I'm not sure if that's related.
What am I missing?
Edit: hrrm it seems that mkv started to work , but avi (divx and xvid videos) doesn't.

ffmpegthumbnailer segfaults for me on some avi files (when that happens the thumbnail isn't prduced, obviously). There is a bug reported about this on the ffmpegthumbnailer bug tracker http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegthumbnai … etail?id=4.
Anyways, you can see if this is the cause of your problems by trying to make a thumbnail manually. The generic syntax for ffmpegthumbnailer is syntax is:
ffmpegthumbnailer -i [videofile].avi -o [thumbnail].png

Thanks for the command , yea I'm getting segmentation fault too with ffmpegthumbnailer 1.14.
Edit: I also upgraded to 1.14 because 1.13 gave me an error of "error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.51", so it didn't produce any thumbnails at all, I recompiled it using abs and upgraded to 1.14, now at least my mpeg files work.
