Sorry, I was neither desperate nor furious just I wanted to highlight my question (that is why in CAPITAL , didn't know it meant screaming) and was searching for one who has installed it from tarball.
I wanted to simply ask that
How to see thumbnail for video in nautilus file browser of GNOME in openSUSE 10.3.For example I came to know that mpg123 is needed for music preview of audio files using which when i hover my mouse over audio file it begins to play till mouse remains over it.So what is needed for thumbnail preview of video files.

to jay73,
Can you tell which version of ffmpegthumbnailer you have used and while installing from tarball what steps have to be executed.

I got ffmpegthumbnailer rpm from http://gnupg.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/Linux...suse/10.3/src/
Then I ran following command
#rpm -i ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.2-0.pm.1.src.rpm
Output was
warning: 10.3ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.2-0.pm.1.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 9a795806
Does this mean that ffmpegthumbnailer has been installed ?

To install a src.rpm

Code:

rpm --rebuild ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.2-0.pm.1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPM/
rpm -iv ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.2-0.pm.1.rpm

As told I ran
#rpm --rebuild 10.3ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.2-0.pm.1.src.rpm
OUTPUT --rebuild: unknown option
Then from 'rpm --help' I came to know that '--rebuilddb means rebuild database inverted lists from installed package headers'
QUESTION)Is this same as rebuild you have suggested
When I run
#rpm -iv --nosignature --nodigest 10.3ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.2-0.pm.1.src.rpm
OUTPUT ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.2-0.pm.1
But there is no file named 'ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.2-0.pm.1.rpm' on whole system.
I found tarball present within rpm(because when I double click on this .src.rpm it opens like a zip file & shows a tarball..spec file present inside.) inside folder /usr/src/packages/SOURCES .
QUESTION)What shoud I do?
