Nice! I'm sure you don't mind if I take that and put it in the next ffmpegthumbnailer package.
Although I think it works out of the box, if you have totem installed (and also the respective codecs). Totem provides a totem.thumbnailer file that does the same thing. And so does whaawmp. I have both totem and whaawmp installed and one of them is providing thumbnails for caja, not sure which one right now...

Most likely, you are right! I use VLC exclusively and because it, my system lacked this feature.
