    On Arch, I use ffmpegthumbnailer to accomplish this.

    Roughly how big are these files, and are they stored locally on your machine or mounted over the network (using FUSE, GVFS, or a kernel-based one like NFS?)

    I’ve noticed a few linux file managers are quite cautious loading multimedia thumbnails for networked filesystems mounted with GVFS, not sure of a fix for that aside from looking for a command line utility to mount using FUSE instead

        Make sure you have all the free and non-free video codecs installed

                ffprobe is included in the ffmpeg package. For future reference you can find what package contains a file by doing dpkg-query -S /bin/ffprobe (note that the path you give it is relative to /usr)

                  lol, no :)

                  first of all, it only searches for occurrences in already installed packages and is more or less a grep -l xxx /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list. So you can’t use it in order to determine which package to install, for that you use https://packages.debian.org or apt-file instead.

                  Secondly, what you search for isn’t relative to anything (wtf):

                  $ dpkg-query -S /etc/grub.d/                                  
fwupd, grub-common: /etc/grub.d

                  Got the command to work. Here’s the info for one of the files for which a preview thumbnail/icon isn’t available:
