## Historique du projet et usages

ffmpegthumbnailer is a small FFmpeg-based thumbnail generator for video files, designed for file managers and other desktop software that need quick previews.

### Historique du projet

The project describes itself as a lightweight video thumbnailer that uses FFmpeg to decode frames, with supported formats depending on how FFmpeg was built. Its early changelog starts at version 1.0 as the initial FFmpegThumbnailer release, and version 1.2.0 added libffmpegthumbnailer so applications could use it as a library instead of only a command-line tool.

The 2.x line modernized the project around a C++ library namespace, C API changes, CMake, and GitHub hosting. Later releases focused on practical desktop-thumbnailer concerns: rotation metadata, embedded image metadata, raw RGB output, command-line argument checks, compatibility with newer FFmpeg, and an optional audio thumbnailer.

### Historique d'adoption

ffmpegthumbnailer was adopted in package managers because it fills a narrow but recurring desktop need: produce thumbnails for arbitrary video formats using the same codec coverage FFmpeg already provides. Homebrew packages the single ffmpegthumbnailer executable, and the project also exposes a library for applications that want thumbnail generation directly.

### Modes d'utilisation

Typical use is either direct CLI thumbnail generation or integration by a file manager/desktop thumbnail service. Because it delegates decoding to FFmpeg, its practical media coverage follows the FFmpeg build options available on the system.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

This is the kind of package maintainers like to keep boring: a tiny binary, a library, FFmpeg plus libpng dependencies, and a clear job. Its recurring build fixes against newer FFmpeg releases are the main maintenance story.

### Chronologie

- 1.0: Initial FFmpegThumbnailer release.
- 1.2.0: Added libffmpegthumbnailer library access.
- 2.0.10: Migrated to GitHub and CMake.
- 2016: Version 2.2.0 added embedded image metadata preference.
- 2024: Version 2.2.3 fixed builds against newer FFmpeg and compilers.
- 2025: Version 2.3.0 added an optional audio thumbnailer.

### Related projects

- FFmpeg supplies the decoding layer. File managers and desktop thumbnail services are the main integration targets.
