How do I make Thunar display the thumbnails that are embedded in my files?

I downloaded a few videos with yt-dlp, had it embed the thumbnails, but what do I need to do to have Thunar actually use these thumbnails?

I’m on EndeavourOS, tumbler is installed, as is ffmpegthumbnailer and atomicparsley. Though the images have also been embedded just fine even before I installed the latter.

VLC shows the correct thumbnail image when looking at the media properties/informations, so it’s definitely there.

Do they need to be a specific format, maybe?

I feel like I’m missing something super obvious

damium,

Are they on a local disk? Thunar doesn’t render any thumbnails for remote storage by default.

They are on a local disk, but I’ve also set it to display thumbnails on any location

syrupwhispering,

How large are the videos? There’s a cap on the size of video that will have thumbnails generated. It’s like 2gb or something

They’re all sub 2GB, but that’s interesting, I didn’t know that

Which distro? I think you need an ffmpegthumbnailer package if memory serves.

It’s EndeavourOS, ffmpegthumbnailer was installed per default. I updated the post just now, seeing how it lacked relevant info

What permissions are on ~/.thumbnails? It has been some time since I have used Thunar or an Arch-based system but I recall having a problem like this before… after that, I’m out of ideas.
