caja missing video thumbnails [SOLVED]

GNUser · 2017-07-01 17:36:04

I'm on Devuan Jessie with caja 1.8.2. Caja's "View" is set to "Icons".

Here are the relevant settings in caja:

This followed by a reboot has no effect:

sudo apt-get install totem ffmpegthumbnailer

Any ideas what to try next?

I renamed some video files and now the renamed ones have thumbnails. Bizarre.

Is there something I can do so that thumbnails show up for all videos, without me having to rename them all?

Yes! This caused thumbnails to show up for everything:

rm -r ~/.cache/thumbnails
