Description:
gvfs support doesn't seems to be enabled, flag --enable-gnome-vfs is maybe missing? (whereas gvfs is marked as an optional dependency).

on the google code page of ffmepgthumbnailer there is:

ffmpegthumbnailer version 2.0.3 (August 06, 2010)
Support for gnome-vfs uris added. New configure flag (--enable-gnome-vfs), this puts a runtime dependancy on libgnome-vfs-2.0


Additional info:
* package version(s)
ffmpegthumbnailer 2.0.6-1 x86_64


Steps to reproduce:

ffmpegthumbnailer -s 128 -i smb://nas/test.mov -o /tmp/.gnome_desktop_thumbnail.YZPJ0V -c png -f -t 10
Error: Could not open input file: smb://nas/test.mov

(/usr/bin/totem-video-thumbnailer -s 128 smb://nas/test.mov /tmp/.gnome_desktop_thumbnail.YZPJ0V works fine)
This task depends upon

first gvfs != gnome-vfs

gnome-vfs is deprecated for a long time

Oups, Sorry, so maybe this one is missing:
ffmpegthumbnailer version 2.0.5 (November 30, 2010)
Replaced deprecate gnome-vfs with gio (--enable-gio)
??

exactly, that is the best solution, which is enabled by default in our package

paths like smb://... are gvfs mounts, no? ffmpegthumbnailer seems to be unable to access such paths, is it normal? (Return error is: Error: Could not open input file: smb://..., totem-video-thumbnailer works fine with the same path)

The way ffmpegthumbnailer works, you'll probably have to mount the location first. Just like epiphany with FTP, ffmpegthumbnailer doesn't contain any code to mount anything.

As I understood smb://... are gvfs path, these paths are added by nautilus itself (%u option in /usr/share/thumbnailers/... it was not a handmade test) when I try to use ffmegthumbnailer instead of totem-video-thumbnailer in order to create thumbnails in nautilus.
I thought the --enable-gio option was written to enable this feature. Am I wrong?

I'm not sure if it is supposed to do that, but I doubt it is. Maybe you can ask the upstream dev if it is supposed to generate thumbnails for smb paths directly?
Comment by Max (zoidberg) - Sunday, 11 September 2011, 09:15 GMT
Here is the answer from the dev: "Correct, gio is supported only for local files. This means you can thumbnail file://somefile.avi but no network paths. I added a an extra logging to the source code to make this clear."
So this is the normal behaviour, this thread could be closed.
Sorry.
