Getting thumbnails for .MTS (AVCHD) video files in Caja?

  • 772

In Caja (MATE's file manager), I'm not getting thumbnails for .MTS video files (From my AVCHD camera). However, if I rename them to a more common extension, such as .mp4, thumbnails for them are generated.

How do I add .MTS files to the list of file extensions to generate thumbnails for, so that I don't have to rename them to get thumbnails ?

    I don't use Caja but Nautilus; anyway I think they share this behaviour: Nautilus thumbnail generation relies upon ffmpegthumbnailer which is controlled by /usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer.

    Edit it in order to tell ffmpegthumbnailer to generate thumbnail also for that kind of file
