%videofile doesnt work anymore. Reset your system settings on the transcoder tab.

Let me know.

This is quite an old issue, but it appears that there is a problem with the default settings for the video thumbnailing options in Transcoders > Video Thumbnails > Advanced (Video Thumbnailer Options).

The default ffmpeg command is the following:
-i %videofile -an -y -f mjpeg -ss %seek -vframes 1 %thumbfile

But it should be:
-i !videofile -an -y -f mjpeg -ss !seek -vframes 1 !thumbfile

Notice that the %'s are changed to !'s. Because the tokens had the wrong prefixes, they were not getting replaced with the actual token values, so ffmpeg was just receiving a command with tokens instead of real pathnames.

To clarify, I'm using Video 6.x-4.2-alpha2, but this issue is much older than the current release that I'm using, so I'm thinking the bug must have reverted.

@timd.mackey, reset the settings. That should fix if any issue when u upgrade

I already fixed the issue myself by making the changes that I mentioned. Thanks for the tip though. Perhaps this needs to be looked into further though? I'm pretty sure I did a fresh install of this module.
