Description

Hi,

Since version 4, ffmpeg is able to embed thumbnail in mp4 files : See https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Main-options and : https://stackoverflow.com/q/54717175/5649639

I cannot build/find AtomicParsley for SailfishOS, can you please add the possibility to use ffmpeg (instead of AtomicParsley) to embed thumbnail in downloaded video ?

Thanks a lot to your team for your great amount of work for this great tool I use everyday (along with mpv😃 )

This would also be great for embedding thumbnails in container formats besides mp3 and mp4a/mp4 (e.g., Matroska mkv).

Also because AtomicParsley cannot embed old JPEG thumbnails that are not JFIF, such as the ones provided by Dailymotion :

For information :

The AtomicParsley project has moved to GitHub : https://github.com/wez/atomicparsley

and the gitlab bug # 48 (AtomicParsley cannot embed old JPEG thumbnails that are not JFIF) has been fixed in commit f927648 since Jul 1, 2020.
