How to view video thumbnails in ROX-Filer?

I get this error:

It seems kerofin page is dead.

Could not find VideoThumbnail-0.1.14.tar.gz on the net by a quick search.
Without it video thumbnails won't work.

Can you test the good old ffmpegthumbnailer? I don’t really need the miniatures, so I don’t check it myself yet.

Here is ffmpegthumbnailer 2.2.2 compiled in Fossapup. It remains only to bind it to the file manager

Grey, I'll give that a try this weekend but for now I installed SpaceFM from the package manager and it shows video thumbnails.

For what it's worth, the Internet Archive seems to have a backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20150908200 ... .14.tar.gz

See also the related thread Rox thumbnail for video files as well as jpeg in the archived Murga forum.
The solution proposed by step may work in Fossapup64.

I don't remember if there are thumbnails for the video, but when you click on a video file, XnView plays it in the lower right corner of the screen, as a result of which you can quickly view such files.

Hmm.... Interesting! So, the all-important question, then; how DO we "bind" it to ROX-filer?

Be nice to finally get this working, if only in Fossapup.

I have 0install AND Rox-Lib2 installed.
Though, no matter where I put VideoThumbnail, it doesn't work.
I put it into:

/usr/lib
/usr/bin
/usr/local
/usr/local/apps
/usr/local/bin
/usr/share

Any hints/tips?

I didn't care about ROX But here Geeqie 1.6 compiled in Fossapup with support for video thumbnails using ffmpegthumbnailer.

Hello.

Is there any definitive solution to show video thumbnails in the standard Bionicpup 64 ?

I've followed some mentioned links, and all seem to point to different ideas with a lot of troubleshootings procedures in different puppy installs.

I just need to see a thumbnail to organize my video folders.

Thanks very much.
