Description
When embedding thumbnails using --embed-thumbnail, they get automatically converted to .png
People like me would like to keep them in the original format. (i.e. webp), which is compatible with the .mkv container when inserted as attachment.
actual output
[ThumbnailsConvertor] Converting thumbnail "/path/to/thumbnail.webp" to png
[EmbedThumbnail] ffmpeg: Adding thumbnail to "/path/to/video.mkv"
expected output
[EmbedThumbnail] ffmpeg: Adding thumbnail to "/path/to/thumbnail.mkv"

@nicolaasjan We can detect the file format and use webp only if it is mkv
I would rather not have them as
webp, because I always save videos asmp4. So I think this should be an option instead of the default.
