True. Unfortunately, the only way to automatically create video thumbnails, is with FFmpeg.
atallen Well, maybe you can bring yourself to add a manual thumbnail assignment. Then the user could provide the videos, YouTube videos and folders with their own icons or thumbnails.
It could be an alternative, although it's a bit clumsy. The idea of Files Gallery is to not affect your own folders, but if you need to create thumbnails manually, they would need to get stored directly in the folder, something like _files_thumb_filename.jpg

FYI, you can already choose your own thumbnail for folders by naming a file in the folder _filespreview.jpg
