ffmpegthumbnailer, no PNG support? [SOLVED]

I'm using Thunar under XFCE4, for the record.

For whatever reason, ffmpegthumbnailer was not compiled with PNG support, as suggested by this error I get when I input "ffmpegthumbnailer -i [file] -o [file].png"

"Error: ffmpegthumbnailer was not compiled with png support"

I do NOT get this problem if I use "ffmpegthumbnailer -i [file] -o [file].jpg". However, since Thunar's thumbnails default to .png, none of my videos generate thumbnails.

Any solutions to this? I've searched and have not come across anything short of installing from outside of the main repos in terms of a fix.

Thanks.

A new version was uploaded to the repos recently with png support.

Yes, thank you. I just did an upgrade and now everything is working properly.
