Q: How can I see the thumbnails of HEVC and mkv with VP9 encode videos?

As you can see in the picture below, only the H264 codec video shows up its thumbnail, not the HEVC or VP9 (mkv). How do I see their thumbnails?

JulianLai

It is the hevc video: drive.google.com/open?id=0BxnS0W8xlR-QdkRUak5QWTdvVm8

Ravan

@JulianLai It says:you need permission

JulianLai

JulianLai

mkv/webm/hevc videos still have no thumbnails

Which version of ffmpegthumbnails do you install?

Ravan

Ok, when you see thumbnails let me know, mean while we follow steps.

sudo apt-get install totem

One should be kept aside.
