[SOLVED] Nautilus video thumbnails

Hi everyone! I want to generate video thumbnails with ffmpegthumbnailer in nautilus. I know i can do it by setting a command in the /gnome/thumbnailer section of gconf but i dont have keys for video thumbnails. There is only keys for fonts. Is there any way to add those video keys?
I done this once in ubuntu but now i dont want to install totem.
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Nautilus video thumbnails

For movies I use the imdb-thumbnailer tool (it's in AUR). If I look in the source for the code that registers the thumbnailer, I find this:

for i in $video_extensions; do
    gconftool-2 -s "/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/$i"/command -t string '$THUMBNAIL_COMMAND
    gconftool-2 -s "/desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/$i"/enable -t boolean 'true'
done

Search google for the thumbnail command and google for the list of extensions.

Good luck!
