Right now, videos don't show a thumbnail. There is a simple fix for web, but on android it sounds like we need to download the whole video (or stream the first part of it if the server supports seeking) in order to generate a thumbnail. Primal handles this using a server-side component, which is probably the right way to go to take advantage of caching. Ideally, this would be supported at the protocol level with metadata for thumbnail, or seeking support in blossom.
